    Any Rabbit Breeders/Owners Here at BYC?

    Thanks! I'm sure we will have more questions soon once we are working on getting their hutch and run set up. Looking forward to when we have everything set in place. Here's another picture of Gandalf the Grey ☺️.

    Any Rabbit Breeders/Owners Here at BYC?

    We are new rabbit owners! Meet Gandalf the grey and Frodo the brown, our new French/partially German angora rabbits. I had rabbits for a while in childhood before a fox got into their hutch. We just got our rabbits this week. Not sure I have a favorite breed yet but so far like our angoras. We...

    Changing the ordinance in Maple Grove, Minnesota

    Yes I think there are a lot of kind of snobby misconceptions and also a generational divide.

    Changing the ordinance in Maple Grove, Minnesota

    Changing the ordinance in Maple Grove, Minnesota

    Unfortunately I don't have the time. I'm a mom of two young children, with a baby coming in the Spring plus work full time as a nurse practitioner. However I will plan on asking opposing candidates their stance in the next elections.

    Changing the ordinance in Maple Grove, Minnesota

    It went badly. The whole council and mayor were opposed. The planning committee only presented on what other cities are doing for backyard chickens.

    Wonderful! Also if you happen to know anyone on the city council that would be helpful. We don't really have a champion for our cause right now.

    Changing the ordinance in Maple Grove, Minnesota

    Anyone here from Maple Grove MN? Myself and several others are working with the City Council on reviewing the backyard chicken ordinance (and hopefully they will vote to change it). Currently they only allow chickens on an acre or more. Most of the surrounding cities near us allow backyard...
