    Skinning a chicken...WARNING! Graphic Pics!

    I'm hoping someone still reads this. We are going to harvest 4 of my birds come Monday. Our question is, since we want to keep the feathers for our renaissance hats, can you pluck the feathers after it is skinned? If so, how? Sounds crazy I know but we do a lot of crafting. Also, how do you...

    I should add, we need to also, send ALL of our comments, to Wingless, so she can show, for those of us that can't make it, that we are a voice and a growing movement and we are NOT going away. Instead, we are organizing an uniting!!! VIVA LA CHICKENS!!! Warm Regards, [email protected]

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Ok, so BIG NEWS!!!! I was talking to my State Senator's office, Senator Hoon-Yung Hopgood. Now, it was regarding a different matter however, I was then told of his upcoming "coffee shop" meetings he is doing in cities where his constituents reside. Most recently, the city of Riverview...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    May I also add, I feel Wingless is right, the problem needs to be fixed at the crux of it all, the MDARD. They are the ones defining MRTFA to our Senators and Representatives office as well as the Attorney General. What is so frustrating is that, in the RTFA it clearly outlines the definitions...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    So yeah, I agree in most cases it is better to ask for forgiveness rather than beg for permission. I have been selling my eggs now, overflow of my family use, for about two months. I have a receipt book as well with my customer contact info on it as well. I've only sold like 4 dozen so far...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    CaraBear, I'd recommend preparing, proactively but "asking for permission" is not the route I'd choose. The reason I am choosing this method is so they have to site me and take me to court, which allows me to stand before a judge, with all my legal documentation and court cases, etc. If, they...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    My update is simple. I've had some crazy real life issues that came up and had to postpone building my coop. However, I started it last week and hope to complete it this weekend. By the next weekend I hope to purchase it and house it with my first batch of fully grown chickens. I'm not asking...

    I think both the documents listed above state clearly that if you follow those three things, the MRTFA supercedes all local ordinances regarding "zoning".

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    CaraBear, everything I posted has to do with being proactive. However, since I now see how to go about this, I'm taking the steps I suggested in the previous thread. I'm setting up for business, Rosales Organic Eggs, will be my business. Building the coop Saturday, adding birds Sunday and...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Well....today the State Senators office called me again. They have NOT heard back from the MSU Extension however, he said that the place where he sees a sticking point (based on his conversation with Wayne Whitman & the Attorney Generals office) is on Site Selection. Now, I was working and...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Well.....ya' know.... I must apologize as I found those same parts that you just bolded out! As a side note, someone linked a case on my FB page about some girl in Ypsilanti Twp. that was made to get rid of her chickens that she's had over a year. So, tonight, armed with this information, I...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Ok, VikkiP and others. I talked to my State Senators office again today. They said that their interpretation of the law and rulings, in regard to Shelby Twp. -vs- Papesh, AND in agreement with Wayne Whitman, that it would NOT apply to me because our city is zoned strictly residential and does...
