Hello!

[SeramaMama]

Hi --
Just joined BYC the other day and already have gotten some excellent advice. The funny thing is, I have never raised chickens and don't have any, can't even keep them where I live, but am driven to find a way to raise them.

I'm from outside Denver, and went to the National Western Stock Show (my favorite event of the year). Well, this year I met a beautiful show rooster who was a Serama. His owner let me and my family pet him while he sat calmly on his owner's hand. It wasn't until very recently when I was researching hatching eggs at home that I figured out what breed that chicken was. So here I am! Don't know nothing 'bout hatchin' chicks or keeping chickens, but want to learn.

The tricky part is that my suburb has an HOA, and that my county generally doesn't allow chickens in neighborhoods that are not zoned for agriculture. So I am looking for ways to band with other like-minded folk who want to amend the laws and otherwise find legal ways to enjoy raising chickens. Know anyone like that in the Denver/Boulder area? If so, please send them my way!

Thanks! Love this site and am looking forward to reading more posts.

Welcome from Minn. All my chickens are outlaws. I have 10 Buff Orpingtons hidding out back and 3 Seramas in the house with more on the way. I've already been caught once and i'm back at it. I have every intention of keeping at least 3 pair of Seramas in the house full time except to go out in a tractor on nice days. I might just be an eccentric ol' fool but, for some reason i get a kick out of the challenge of having outlaw chickens. I don't believe in the fact that government thinks it can rule every little bit of our lives. Too much government is NOT a good thing and i think we all can see where it is leading to. If you can change the laws in your situation, all the more power to you. If you can't, you may have to go underground. Good Luck, Woody
