Our house-hunt for a place that's not an hour from Hubby's job didn't work, so we're in a town that doesn't allow chickens. I could (and will, if necessary) apply for a variance, but I really, really want a few hens of my own. A neighbor I was chatting with also loves chickens and wouldn't mind a few birds herself, either. But I think it would be good to go to City Council with a bunch of people who want backyard hens, to show (in case they don't read the news and realize how many big cities DO allow backyard chickens) that this is an idea whose time has come. There are four horses just up the streetsame zone, same zip code, everything. (I adore horses so this is just fine with me!) Why we can't have chickens...
Anyhow. How do I find other people in my area who also want backyard birds? Has anyone put a group like this together before? Any advice? Obviously I can put ads on Craigslist, but am not sure I want to deal with all the cranks and so forth.
Thanks BYCers!
(ETA I know my profile says "Columbus", but we're actually just outside the city.)
