    Cedar Park, TX ordinance against backyard chickens

    I went to the City Council meeting and signed up to speak. This was hashed out for MONTHS with a lot of people and petitions. Good luck on changing backward thinking people of Cedar Park. One woman stood up over and over at council meetings holding up a picture of her child who she said would be...

    Cedar Park, TX ordinance against backyard chickens

    I thought they were legal too! Both my sisters and I have had to get rid of our hens due to toxic neighbors. I had mine for years until someone moved in and reported me, and now they moved out and new neighbors don't mind so now I'm an "illegal chicken owner." My neighbors love getting the eggs...

    Legalize Bossier City!

    Thank you! Tonight we are actually heading to the second zoning and planning board meeting. The first one there were not enough members present to accomplish a vote either way. Tonight if all are present and have actually read all the supporting documentation, we hope to have the vote they...

    Cedar Park, TX ordinance against backyard chickens

    Exactly! Too bad there was not a way for anyone to respond to the board's comments after the speaker for each side spoke. A woman on the opposing side, who I have since learned has dogs, made it in the local paper due to her pleading that her son's health would be compromised if chickens were in...

    Cedar Park, TX ordinance against backyard chickens

    Your post speaks to the concerns of many that dogs and chickens don't mix! I now have a third dog watching over my chickens. Amazing, he doesn't even chase them or bark at them. He's a rescue mix breed that fits in well with my Newfie. I only have six chickens as that is the limit there will be...

    Need help changing law in Clay NY...

    Maybe our powerpoint presentation we used here in Cedar Park, TX will be of some help. We have not YET gotten our ordinance changed but feel it will happen once we have all members at the next board meeting and we address their latest concerns...

    Cedar Park, TX ordinance against backyard chickens

    PS: One of the concerns at the board meeting was how chickens will turn dogs into barking dogs causing an influx of animal control issues and even fill the docket with battling neighbors! My chickens have now been back a week, my Newfoundland and Poodle LOVE them and herd them in the yard. My...

    Cedar Park, TX - Does Animal Control have a right to get involved and state that I'm violating the l

    I went to the latest Cedar Park meeting, now in the zoning and planning department to make a decision on whether the ordinance should stick or be changed. The speaker for chickens was well prepared, gave a LOT of facts about dogs and cats being even more disease carriers and dogs far greater...

    Cedar Park, TX ordinance against backyard chickens

    I suppose the council meeting could have gone worse as I started above to say then my computer went crazy and it posted itself, now I'll finish what I was wanting to say. Ultimately instead of being shelved it went to a committee in the zoning and ordinance department to research the facts. One...

    Thanks! Hopefully CP council will go with the idea of the third party fact finding mission that will counter their concerns.
