Walk through any Croton neighborhood today and you will find lawns, gardens, and the occasional debate about whether residents ought to be allowed to keep a few hens. But for most of the village's recorded history, that question would have been incomprehensible. Chickens were everywhere. They appear in the manor rent rolls, in the census figures, in the reminiscences of Revolutionary War veterans, and on the menu of a Japanese inn that once stood in Harmon. The historical record is thick with poultry — and the story it tells is not really about birds. It is about who lived here, what they owed, what they ate, and how a farming landscape became something else. More at When every Croton yard kept chickens — Croton-on-Hudson, NY
