We only got one "nay" vote. Just has to go through the vote again on the 16th, and then we're legal!!!
 
Congrats!! Isn't it funny that some towns pass the ordinance with no problem and other towns spent months acting like having chickens will end the world! When I ask our council to change the ordinance, they laughed and then passed it. Good luck.
 
Awesome Its Amazing How A Major City Will Allow Chickens But Smaller Suburban Towns Like I Live In Have All Kinds Of Ridiculous Rules
 
How do you do it though, trying to get it changed without putting your existing chickens at risk? I live in a town in CT... *far* from a city, it is allowed in most of the town but the zoning map says they aren't allowed where I live...

Without meaning to offend anyone.....the smaller "surburban" towns are being taken over by what we call "city slickers". Those are the people that want "their" piece of the country but don't want the smells,sounds,etc. that go along with it. They are also the ones that pull their car directly into the garage and go into the house without ever talking with the neighbors. We have had a lot of those kind of people move into our part of Kentucky over the last 20 years. They are the ones that keep screaming for more police protection.more ballfields and parks for their kids,more zoning restrictions but scream even louder when it's pointed out that those things require more tax money. After all,one of the major reasons they moved to a rural area was lower taxes,right?

If I sound bitter.......I am! Why do these backsideho##es move out here if they're just going to try and change the way things are? Let them stay in the city!!
