Looking for help from other Michigan chicken keepers! :)

Howdy, everyone...

 

I'm in Midland, MI - still working hard to be able to HAVE coop....there is a group of us working to change the proposed draft of the 2013 GAAMPS to provide better protection for urban farms under Michigan's Right to Farm Act -

 

We would appreciate any and all support that other chicken owners can provide - we have created a facebook page:

 

www.facebook.com/BYChickenKeepersofMI

 

If you could/would "like" and share that page, and then stay tuned for our 'plan of action' with regards to the upcoming GAAMPS vote, we would appreciate it!

thanks, everyone...

 

I've been active on the Michigan Right to Farm Act thread for awhile, just not much anywhere else (since I don't have the chickens yet barnie.gif- having been threatened with fines and 90 days in jail if i get them...)

 

We're really trying to spread the word to other Michigan Chicken Keepers so that we can get a better feel and more support for chicken keeping - and help change a proposed  'law' that will greatly impact our ability to do so...right now, the Ag Commission isn't aware of how many folks are on this backyard chicken trend...and they aren't hearing our pleas...
