Chicken's since can walk

[CassieW]

I love this site though new here not a novice to farming.

Family history Appalachia farming goes back the colonial era throughout Virginia, Carolina's & other original founding colonies due marital ties. Owner the family ledgers, housekeeping journals and other family letters. All documenting 300+ years everything managing day-to-day survival all things agriculture.

Spent summers & holidays distant relatives 1970's-1990's (older relations great aunts or uncles curators of olden standards) in "Blue Ridge" VA as grandparents their kids moved to urban living due economic choice early 1960's. Summer country living incur farm chores as a kid or old rural/agriculture education 101. Chicken feeding first chore age 2 took while earn muster they won't eat me too.

Miss all still a suburb/urban dweller: chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese & guinea fowl, pigs, goats & cows. Kitchen garden's as well as hay fields or cash crop fields, orchards + more..I even miss hard work kitchen using wood burning stove and old hand pump sink.....don't miss out house obvious reasons discovered a copperhead ran in more different ways fast .

Best dearly missed conversations about all swapping best practices from tried and true experience!

Thanks, some info is general or obsolete issues: local, state & federal laws change my area re-zoned recent for development "NO CHICKENS!"

I'm praying & pleading they change back into favor again it's torture I miss having feathered children.

Explain: I live in a commonwealth state each county or municipality can issue own ordinance code per the state law has the same weight or legal validity of official state law in their own jurisdiction. It's tiring one moment your legal the next your breaking the law or illegal then legal codes flip-flop a lot in my area.

Sorry to hear that, Cassie. I hope you can get the ordinances changed in favor of chickens where they will stay. You might want to check out the threads on "Changing Local Laws and Ordinances" at https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=changing+local+laws+and+ordinances Good luck.
