I learned the hard way that boiled eggs even if stored in refrigerator should be used asap. I was running late fir work. Half day with students then half day seminar. Took quick look in frig and saw my boiled eggs. Put 2 in my coat pocket. Shortly after class was started I sat on coat and...

I followed your story years ago and never dreamed my daughter would experience a similar experience. Actually worse. As you requested, I have closed my thread. I need a hiatus anyway. ✌️

I would like to close this thread. If someone would explain how I do that. I need to focus on my health. If not I could be paralyzed. So be careful chicken lovers. Besides predators like hawks and raccoons there are predators ready to take off with your chickens called ACO. , Code...

We learn by our mistakes. My hope in starting this thread was to educate people about the laws in Michigan regarding anti-cruelty to animals and how, well over the top the punishment is for owning chickens. True intentional inflection of cruelty to chickens might be acceptable as a felony...

Lansing State Journal. Hi, I lived in Dearborn Heights. You make a good point because all I know about your case is what was in newspapers which are not always accurate. I also think my daughter talked to you about it. Your case is not really moot because animal owners all over the state...

I would delete it and I assure you that I have followed your case and what you have been through I have been through. I think you have spoken in past to Belinda Fitzpatrick. She had 27 chickens seizedwith exparte search warrant. Door kicked in. 11 months to get a trial. She could have gotten...

Heidi Williams, director of ICAC mentioned 14 days at a meeting. And thanks.

Thank you for the updated version. Like you I will print and read later. I actually read where I believe it was a senator did not want to try to remove sodomy because it would cause arguments and he wanted to get this dog law passed. That was last updated law. If you come across any senate...

That was the intent of the right to farm. But sadly, I my humble opinion, it mainly protects CAFOs not small traditional farms. Especially if some one covets your land. I believe that the punishment should fit the crime and owning chickens should not be criminal. Chicken hatcheries sort...

This is a long story. It was release in print in LSJ on front page plus another full page. I am a farmer. I was a farmer's wife, but he passed away. I lived on farms and had my first flock at age 14. My chickens were White Rocks and for eggs and good and to make money. These chickens were...

Originally it was an ordinance violation but prosecutor amended it to a criminal charge which is a felony.

It is possible that a chicken could be so sad as it was when your first chickened died. She took it hard but usually that is from not eating or drinking. We bought some rabbits and one was a long time pet. The owner was happy she was going to a good home. But she refused to eat or drink. We...

And ACOs have qualified immunity.

The program hoarders show some pretty bad situations with sick animals. But except in an emergency life and death situation, animals should not be seized. Animal owners have a right to predeprivation hearings. This is to prevent erroneous seizures. Being removed from their owners, even...

Forgot photo of silkie.

A recent chicken lover from Michigan went head to head with a bully ACO. SHE WON. Charged with neglect of 25 animals she faced felony charge with 7 years in jail and never to own an animal again. Of course they did a press release which made her look like a animal hoarder. Local TV ran...

The story of man who became a felon and harassed byvcide officer is on this website! Listed as "Convicted Criminal Chickenkeeper". It really blew my mind about the skunk incident.

Yes, throughout the state. Not just chickens. The AG ruled fog laws cannot be used for chickens so they use anti-cruelty laws. In some cases they do have warrants and in others they don't. Sometimes code compliance comes with ACO to find any code violations. Most people cannot afford a...
