NBC12 News: “Chickens make great pets, they’re entertaining, they’re quiet,” said one urban chicken supporter. “They make eggs and are great for pest control.”

“Having chickens is a God-given right,” said another. “And the Constitution backs that right up.”

Yes, Virginia, you can now keep chickens in the backyard of your Capitol, for no other reason than to keep you company and lay the occasional egg.  Let the good times roll!

This photo was taken on Kiawah Island, SC, but the scene might as well be right on Monument Ave.  Enjoy your eggs, peeps.
