Fighting the Good Fight for BYCs!

[4-H chicken mom]

Hi and from Ohio. So glad to have you aboard. Check out the ordinance section here. There might be something there that can help in your fight. Good luck.

Good Luck on Monday! We are trying to get ordinances changed in our county too. Before the 1950s backyard chickens were common.

The vote to have an official vote is tonight!

My visual aids!

I am always astounded at the lack of experience (ignorance?) of so many people. That you have to explain the difference between bees and hornets is so sad, and these are the same folks that are supposed to make the decisions about what we are "allowed" to do on our own property! Most of them have probably never been within 10 feet of a chicken either.

So grateful that I was raised differently.

Your campaign is great. The visual aids look very professional. Hope the vote goes in your favor!

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. I will admit that I'm a little nervous but I have prepared something to say at the meeting and will plunge in!

We have many supporters, Jen!!! --- that person who posted in the facebook mom's group hoping to get opposers rallied to show up at the meeting was the best thing that's ever happened. 85+% are in favor.... our mayor is in favor...


Now if only we could get one more trustee to be in favor....

Here is the article about last nights meeting. It was heated and standing room only! Although the topic has been placed aside for more "fact finding", it's not over till the fat hen sings!

How can that guy say a few backyard chickens would smell anything like a farm?

 

[JenKehrer]

Lots of myths and fear surrounded the room. We tried our best to provide the FACTS but I believe the majority already had their minds made up before even entering the building.
