Oh, they're here on the forum! LOL! I never scrolled down that far! Thanks! Quote: Valereee, I have family in Newtown. Try here for the listing........ https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=430222

I've put together a page on how to get started changing your city's chicken laws .

BYC has classifieds? I can't seem to find them! Quote:

Where in Cincy? I'm in Montgomery. Do you have a website? Quote: Thank you, Debbie ! I do have peeps in Cincy, maybe we could work something out ?

First, don't beat yourself up over something you didn't do. You can't change what's past. Then, take a deep breath and plan your battle. You -can- fight city hall, but you have to do it the right way. Get them on your side, then keep them there. Go into this with the attitude that the...

Here's a document we used to convince our city to change our ordinances: Chickens for Montgomery

Pineapple (or anyone), do you have this in a form that's just one per page? I'd love to print it off and frame it, but I need a bit of margin. I can't get to the picasa versions. Thanks for any help! Val Quote:

In the unincorporated areas of our county (Hamilton Co, OH) there are actually GREATER restrictions than in many of the incorporated areas. There are people living in uninc. areas on lots of 3/4 acre who can't have chickens, while the people just down the road inside the town line can have them...

I posted a comment on the editorial. It was easy -- I had to register with Disqus, but that took about 30 seconds. It's awaiting moderation. It would be nice if others would go post comments at the editorial . Val

Katherine, I still think that page is a great idea! In addition to this stuff we're working on here, there's a document on scribd that goes into a lot of other possible objections/concerns/questions. Quote: I also like what you and AZKat are working on here. It had occurred to me to make...

Okay, quick check of these shelters' websites. Animal Place -- no adoptable animals listed on their site, but they placed 400 hens this time last year from a factory-farm rescue. Chicken Run -- 2 roos listed as up for adoption, one stray, one owner surrender Eastern Shore -- currently has 40...

This might not be strong enough...arguing that they aren't that bad might make it look like we just don't have a response to this. Maybe we could add something to it reiterating that surprise roosters are rare, that roosters are possible to rehome, and that chicken-keepers are no more likely to...

It's tricky to try to claim anything is true of all. I'm sure there are any number who would say the government can't tell them not to slaughter a chicken on the driveway where the neighbor's preschooler can see. Maybe: Owners of chickens, just like owners of dogs and cats, can be required...
