    Forming some kind of organization -- and taking donations -- to advocate for chickens with flyers, m

    Hello and thanks from the TX Hill Country

    Hi, folks. I'm new to BYC and am located in the Texas Hill Country North West of Austin. I don't have chickens yet, as our neighborhood has had restrictions that prevented residents from having poultry, but recently a (seemingly successful) petition has circulated and it looks like the rules...
