Chicken people unite!

Got a pm from Holly O, she's in trouble ( don't know or care what kind) to keep her birds. If you pray, pray for her. What ever else the rest of you do, do it. There's a mountain to be moved, let's get it moved.

Your sweet,
Thought I would give you the run down ...lol

Well I had a post on here before.
NOW again.

I called and was told no Ordinance against chickens, By Town Ordinance officer.
Was told he was misinformed and their is one. BY Township Supervisor.
Was called and Told We are allowed 2 or 3. By Township Supervisor
I figured this was the end as I asked for a written Ordinance and never received one.
Well neighbor left for 3 weeks all was quiet.

Now June29th The officer came by and verbally told me I have 7 days to dismantle the coop and re home my chickens elsewhere.
During the conversation he kept saying he doesn't know who I was talking to but they are wrong.
I kept telling him their names and Title.
He ignored that information, as he insisted I am wrong.
He stated they all had a meeting and I was to remove Coop and Chickens. (found out later this is untrue)

Later On June 29th
I was given a letter by the officer. Came, dropped it off, LEFT!

I have talked with a lawyer and I have received calls from Blythe Township council members and the police officer. They seem a bit worried. I hope that alone will be enough. But tonight is also the council meeting, Which I'll be attending.

PS I'm also looking into getting my Poultry Technician License Here in PA

Well we went up to the meeting tonight and accomplished Nothing. Other than the fact everyone knows we have a lawyer. And are not going to back down with this.
So we will proceed, and Win.
