Hey i am new to this site and to chickens in general! i am totally excited about getting chickens and DH is on board too but we have hit a snag with the township, they don't ever return calls and are really annoying to try to talk to! i am almost tempted to get my chickens secretly and deal with the consequences later but DH wants to do it right...anybody have any advice for applying for a use variance for my land that is just barely not big enough to have chickens?
