Janna Rankin Scharf, PMN, SFR, GRI, CLHMS - Hayden Idaho Homes For Sale As is the case in most north Idaho communities, chickens are permissible in the town of Hayden, Idaho as long as they are cooped up.  But the Hayden city council this week clarified that rowdy and rambunctious roosters are not welcome. In spite of admitting to receiving only one or two complaints each year about the boisterous early morning cock-a-doodle-dooing of a rogue rooster, the city of Hayden has now officially banned the boys.  The new ordinance now clarifys that the term "chicken" is limited to hens.  Leaving zero room for misinterpretation, the ordinance dealing with domesticated fowl spells it right out, "Roosters are not allowed."  I often ride past this beautiful, upscale chicken coop on my weekend bike... 05/26/2012

Janna Rankin Scharf, GRI, CLHMS, SFR, AB - Coeur d'alene Idaho Real Estate Homes for Sale Today was a crisp, clear day here in beautiful North Idaho.  I took the opportunity to get outside this afternoon to go for a hike on the English Point Trail with my husband.  Driving home we spotted a flock of wild turkeys along the road.  We stopped to take their picture but they turned and headed down a side road at a brisk turkey trot.  It made me smile to think of our recent Thanksgiving Thursday, which started out with my family's participation in the Fort Collins, Colorado annual Turkey Trot.  All the while, here close to home, turkey trot down the road all the time, Thanksgiving or not!  No entry fee required, and no t-shirts, but they sure are fun to watch! 12/04/2011
