Cary, NC unexpected voted to table the ordinance vote due to new concerns from a council member who had previously supported the ordinance. She is now worried about the neighbors of chickens. To help address her concerns, I'm hoping to get anyone who lives next to chickens to send an email to...
Field mice and rats will be attracted to vegetable gardens, compost bins, bird feeders, dog/cat food, and chicken food that is left out. I don't have chickens, but I do kill the occasional rat and field mouse.
Cary, NC is finally heading down the path of changing the ordinances to allow chickens. The potential ordinance is currently 6 hens, $50 yearly fee, and coop setbacks that varying with property zoning.
A member of the planning & zoning committee has asked me about ordinances for other towns to...
The http://carychickens.com CaryChickens.com website has been professionally redesigned and a new logo has been created.
I also had a logo created. Now it's time to create signs, t-shirts and bumper stickers. Does anyone here know of a decent online place to order any of those?
I just planted a fruit orchard in my backyard this month and decided that keeping bees would be necessary to ensure good pollination. I haven't found any sizable online communities for beekeepers, so I do what I do well and put together a website. Shameless plug BackyardApiary.com.

I understand that people should do their homework before moving to an area, but it is the citizen's right to try to change the rules if the change is needed. I remember the time women and blacks were not allowed to vote. If you equivicate the two situations you (Don...

I appreciate your concern, but sadly you are speaking without understanding the situation or many of the facts related to it. As shown by your comments on your own forum, your "intelligent" political discussion consists primarily of pathetic attempts at jokes. If a majority of the...

We had provided a significant amount of information via email to the council members prior to the meeting. Despite the last minute scamble for support, this topic also generated the most community feedback, even more so than the budget. A majority of the emails were in support of the...
