They are taking my chickens away.

Actually 3 days ago the zoning officer gave them 3 weeks, so they still have time, and I'd sure hate to see them give up!

Well that is good news for Chic adee, as this will give her more time to get her chicks in a row and a plan of action for her case. And shows the officer is helping her by giving more time.

I'm sorry I missed the 3 weeks given comment, but we tend to be frank when speaking and its not condescending, but pointing out facts from the zoning side that others may not know and listening to the comments and facts from the Publics side. Its good to beable to listen and comprehend both sides openly as we are all here to help..

Again I wish her the best of luck and hope she can get the ords changed or at the very least a special exception for herself and open a new door for others to follow...

Quote: Thanks! Ya, it was really nice of him to give me three weeks! Any info from either sides is welcome, and I appericiate you giving me info from the other side. It tells me what I need to know whether positive or negative.

Most municipalities have a website. If not,I would start at city hall.

Hi,Chick-adee!
more importantly, let us gain an audience with our municiple powers and show them the horrible plight of commercial chickens in cages and what their unacceptable fate is.
show them graphic-on-site photos and clips of what these pitiable creatures suffer 24/7. Let us not wait until "our rights" are in the race before we attempt to educate our neighbors and pace setters.
store bought eggs are a disgusting and unacceptable alternative to buying range free eggs from local people And the treatment of caged chickens is a must see! go now to the nearest commercial facility and watch these precious birds in cramped conditions fight for another inch for movement. They live in semi darkness: They never see the sun..ever!
They are ghastly in discoloration, their eyelids and waffles,combs and feet are devoid of health. their toe nails are so long they cripple the bird. let us not be "Proactive"
because we want to keep our dear backyard trio. Why should we tell an animal control officer that we are Proactive? Should not that officer already know that? Should not every Hatchery and Commercial Containment facility know you by name?
Should not Your Governor know you by name?
We can change it all!
