Here in Hurst, ownership, as I found out the hard was a year after moving here, states that you may only own fowl if you live on a tract of land that is 40,000 Square Feet or larger.
I found this out when animal control came to my door one day, months after my flock was established and thriving, and told me that I had three days to get rid of them or they would be taken.
In the end, all of my chickens found new homes, but now I'm fighting back.
I've started a campaign to change the code of ordinances to allow Backyard chickens a place in Hurst.
We're looking for support from everywhere, so if you have a moment please sign my petition.
It just takes a minute of your time and it helps us tremendously!

And if you have any advice on who to talk to and what else I should do, feel free to chip in!! Every little bit helps~
