Update to my update, I got the Mayors intent to veto paperwork tonight regarding our ordinance, so we'll have to see how this plays out.

Just on update on Marionville's Chicken ordinance. It passed on 6-12-12, We may now keep up to 6 hens, so long as we follow the cities set backs, which are 7.5' from the property line. Getting it to pass took a bit of doing, I ended up getting elected to city council to help make it happen.
