Hats off to you Mr. Cole. I was wondering if you had any idea what the likelihood is of the legislation change, and what the possible time-frame might be? I live on a big piece of property in Prince William County with no HOA, and like most of my neighbors I had no idea that it was against the law to keep chickens until I decided to look into raising hens. I am allowed to hunt deer with a shotgun on my property, I can have horses or cows if I want, but I can't have a couple of chickens? Crazy. There are a lot of people right now in PWC raising chickens that have no idea they are doing anything wrong. When I called the county to get a definite answer if I was allowed to get chickens, the gentleman I spoke to was actually quite sympathetic (it took calls back from about 3 people before someone could answer my question). I got the impression that even the people in charge of enforcing the rule think it's silly.
