I happily signed. I used chickens for training my grandson's service dog, besides them being my pets as well. Animal control stated I was in violation of city ordinance so I had to get rid of them. I miss my girls and so does my dog. We are fighting City Hall to change the ordinance. Good luck...

I'm 62, I didn't think I could either. Watching ONE documentary changed my life dramatically. I've learned how to make "meatless" meatloaf (I know, an oxymoron) because at times I do miss meat. If "Farmer John" raised a couple head of cattle that were free ranging, living a good life as God...

Sorry, but you got it wrong. I thought I had stated, I'm a vegetarian. I don't eat ANY animal flesh. I raise the chickens, I get the eggs. When they are through with their egg laying life they live here as pest control pets. They still have a purpose. Chickens don't think of bugs and eating from...

Of COURSE you've never heard your chickens complain about how they are treated. How ridiculous is that. I've never heard the dog next door complain to the owner "Your son picks me up by my ears, make him stop!" either. I truly never gave it much thought as I enjoyed my fried chicken, until I...

I realize animals were given to man for the purpose of food AND pets. I don't argue the good taste of a steak or fried chicken either, although I gag on chicken now that I raise them. I feel almost like I'm a cannibal, but that is just my own sensitivity. There is no reason that animals can't be...

I hope it works out where you are rehoming yours. I lost four of my six when Animal control ordered me to lose them in 7 days. My daughter's husband built a nice coop. Unfortunately the pit bull dogs next door tore the fence apart and chewed into the coop to slaughter all but two. It is due to...

I too lost my chickens due to a bully neighbor. I know how you feel. When he opened that can of worm he made a BIG mistake. It will take a much larger can to contain my return. A large group have formed Chicken for Change in Cedar Park. You may start a page like that where you are and make it a...

All the more reason why we in Cedar Park are trying to change ordinances to allow for backyard chickens. At this point my love affair with all things chickens prevents me from eating what for many years was in top #10 favorites, fried chicken. After seeing a documentary on Netflix about Factory...

Thank you for your excellent question. I will research our right to farm here in Texas. Since this is a residential area, I don't know if it would hold water but certainly worth knowing. As to your second point of being a concealed handgun carrier and would I stop at the city limits to put it...

There are actually two petitions, one only has 17 and one has more and I can't find it! After being at the city council meeting last week I believe the petition is not as effective as sending a personal email. I have all the city council and mayor's email address. We need to approach them from...

Good luck with getting the variance. Sounds like an easier process than changing first a city ordinance and THEN HOA bylaws. Having chickens was more fun than having dogs, and I'm a big time dog lover. Once you get your variance, think of having a Frizzle in your flock. . They are wonderful...

They've just been sitting back waiting for years to find something to report. My dogs were trained and barked once to alert and wait for me to come see what the problem is. NEVER barking at the fence or any neighbor. Chickens just gave them their ability for payback. Unfortunately where my...

Oh I am soooo right there with you my friend on ALL points! Preparedness in food and self-sufficiency is more important than is realized. Because I was turned in because a toxic neighbor SAW my chickens, not because they were a nuisance of any kind, I am wanting to stage my yard with fake...

I guess it went fairly well. There were a few people, probably HOA presidents, who were there and spoke against it and another resident that basically said for chicken lovers to move to the farm or where there is acreage so we could have chickens. Three councilman would have voted for us had a...

You might check the website chickenrevolution.com That is a "How-To" site that was offered to me on my thread where we are trying to change an ordinance. After we get the ordinance changed that lots smaller than 1 acre can have chickens, everyone will have to get their HOAs to amend their...

I spoke with Mayor Powell today. He has put backyard chickens on the agenda for the city council meeting on August 8th at 6:30. If you would like to speak sign-in time is 6:15. This is added to the end of the agenda, but he did tell me he would call this item out of order to avoid all who may...

I talked to Mayor Powell of Cedar Park today. He has the issue of chickens in the backyard on the agenda for this Thursday the 8th of August! I have been campaigning him and the city council. He stated we are add-ons to the agenda, but this item will be called out of order. If you or anyone you...

I meant to post the petition to get chickens in Cedar Park. It doesn't matter if you live here or not. All voices count! http://www.change.org/petitions/city-of-cedar-park-please-change-the-city-ordinance-so-i-can-keep-my-chickens

I am south of everyone in Cedar Park, also trying to change laws.I am being forced to get rid of my flock this evening but am fighting to get them back. Maybe some information I have discovered will be helpful to others and is what I have sent my city council...
