My mother discovered the chicken garden one day when she was walking and thought it was an amazing idea and use of the ugly culdersac. The owner even gave her some freshly laid eggs to take home. The council should be applauding this family for their generous community spirit.

I walk past them frequently, always stop to say hello, and end up chatting with others who have done the same. You've turned an unloved, neglected piece of land into a lovely community feature.

It is great to see four chooks there and is great for children to interact with chooks and even collect the eggs.
It is such a shame that there is always some-one who complains about good things.
There is strong community support for the chooks.

If the residents want the chooks, then they should be given the opportunity to have them. It will educate not only the children, but the adults as well.
