Welcome to BYC, and good luck in getting those ordinances adjusted.

Hi Kelly, welcome to BYC! Good luck on getting in local. There's a forum on that, and a section of the articles that has the laws for various other places - you could go in and show what cities nearby that are similar to yours have them.

Thanks all.

So far the push to legalize has been going well. I working in design and marketing so I know how to brand things and get the message out. I've reached out to city managers for all the local towns that allow hens to get stats on complaints/issues (little to none of course) as well as local avian vets for info on salmonella (was the big concern with council previously). I'm going in there armed with tons of facts and data and answers to every concern they have. In a week our petition has gotten over 300 local signatures, we made the front page of the local paper, and we seem to be getting a lot of support. We just have a few aldermen that are stuck in the stone ages with their thinking. They think salmonella will float through the air infecting the elderly and children of the town. Crazy! But I'm hopeful.
