Ya, the picture is fantastic!!!

Hopefully we'll be able to create a fantastic database of helpful information that will always be updated and current!   If the community can really pull together we could even create some cool maps of all the areas that chickens are legal and use that to further our cause!

If anyone has any qyestions, just let me know!  Most cities' information can be found on www.municode.com, but it is easiet to find it by just googling "XXX city ordinances".
