    Houston, TX: Let's Change the Chicken Laws and Ordinances in COH

    Thanks for the support! The Rice meeting is talking to their environmental club to get them involved; I don't feel that we have enough momentum to talk to the actual council members yet. Although granted, I'm usually more cautious about these things; that's why I'd like to get some energetic...

    What do you think of the new BYC platform?

    All new things require a little bit of time to get used to. It looks more modern to me, like you are trying to appeal to a wider audience. Generally I like it... I imagine it will get faster. I think we all should appreciate the webmasters hard work!! And I did love the cute chicken little!

    Houston, TX: Pursuing a Medical Chicken Permit

    Any more news about the Health Permit? I'm in Houston and would love to have hens but I'd rather work on rewriting the law to make it easier, safer and less stressful for everyone to have a small backyard flock... without having to muddle through the exceptions.
