We did it! The final vote passed. Details about the permit and regulations can be seen here: https://www.auroragov.org/LivingHere/PetsLivestockandWildlife/Chickens/index.htm
In future dates, after the hubbub has died down and certain council members move on, we will try to increase number of...
For our last, important push before Monday's vote (so today or tomorrow), please do the following, per Sally's urging:
Here follows what I believe will work to impress Councilman Bob Roth.
This is a two step process:
Call the Aurora City Council Office at 303.739.7015 M-F between 8am – 5pm...
WE ARE THIS CLOSE BUT HAVE COME UNDER FIRE!
There is an Aurora City Council meeting on February 24th, where the ordinance to approve chickens will be voted on by council. It was approved in Study Session but can be voted down here - especially since there are members on council who are...
Thanks - the buzz words is a really good idea.
To update on where we are - we have gotten our six votes; the details of the changed ordinance will be ironed out tomorrow in study session. Then it will be officially voted on next month. Then it will take a few months to get all the hens in a...
So - we're down and dirty here in Aurora, CO, trying to get City Council to change their mind about allowing chickens. We've addressed most issues (noise, smell, predators, etc.), but the one BIGGEST argument against them is that if the city allows chickens, they will have to hire more personnel...

Please come to the meeting on Monday Sept 16th and bring your neighbors. The more people that attend the better chance of getting this passed. Crawford Community Center (school), 1600 FLorence, Aurora, 6 pm.
We got caught, but only because another neighbor let a rooster run free in the neighborhood. The neighbors knew we had chickens, and though we said the roo wasn't ours, we had to get rid of them. They gave us a few weeks and never checked back, but I was tired of being sneaky and worrying...
Hi jeanlyn101!
The best thing you can do at this point is to call your city council rep (if you are in ward one, you don't need to call Sally; do call the At Large reps) - email is okay, but a phone call is good - and let them know you support Aurora allowing well-cared for small flocks of...
I hope your wife is okay, Franjo!
The meeting went well. There were more than a dozen people there, I think, and we introduced ourselves and discussed why we want chickens. We handed out flyers and discussed next moves: call your representative and the four "at large" representatives and let...
Okay - our next meeting to discuss our progress and meet with Sally Mounier will be Thursday, June 13 at 6pm at Crawford Community Center (school), 1600 Florence St.in Aurora. Hope you can join us! Spread the word!
Technically they are not allowed. But it would depend on neighbors complaining.
We are going to plan a meeting in June - probably Thursday the 13th at 6. I will keep you all posted.

We don't have a review meeting set yet. In the next few weeks we will probably have a meeting just to get together and see how much support we have, then go from there. I will keep y'all posted!! But for now you can help by spreading the word to neighbors and friends in Aurora, contact your city...
We have been chatting with James Bertoli (?) who got the denver laws passed. I think, gypsybum48, that the latino aspect is a big part of why city council is opposed. They want to gentrify, and they don't see chickens as being in line with that vision. Never mind that if chickies were allowed...
Hello, y'all - we're on the move again, and are organizing folks to contact their city council representatives. I've created a blog here: http://aurorachickens.blogspot.com/2013/04/update-on-movement-to-legalize-chickens.html to keep in touch.
Hi Veronica! Let's get chickens approved this year!! Write an email to [email protected] detailing why you want chickens, why you disagree with their arguments (noise, predators, smell, the usual), and that your neighbors support it if they do. Then call and leave a voice mail message...
