Thank you Natalie I appreciate the kind words, I am still thinking today, what's wrong with people who have many chickens and the fact it was all most over for them. I also talked with one council member yesterday that they were voting on it that night and because I was the only one to step forward and show up, it was the fact I was so impassioned about feeding my family, and being clean about my girls, and the fact we never had issues ever in my town , why change what has never been a problem ? I was to say the least very verbal, and straight forward, and I explained how chickens worked. Take my maran, she barely lays eggs, I do not own any production birds so the myth that you get an egg a day from chickens, back yard chickens anyways , never hardly happens . Oh they lay good in summer, ( some) but many stop laying in winter. And here in Montana we have a very long winter. They never knew this, they figured we were getting eggs daily all through the year, and for anyone to have 25 birds that's 25 a day, so what are we doing with all these eggs ? I laughed, explained I have 8 birds, 7 laying one pullet. Out of these girls I get 3/4 eggs but winter is where they molt and I get a few if that. I do not supliment light, and I do not own production birds. I believe then is when they realized just how chickens work. I also explained that chickens need x amount of light, we get dark very early here and stay dark long periods so that's why not many eggs, also explaining how the factory eggs work and how they are slaughtered after a short life span because 1. There breed to lay with less feed, 2. There under lights almost constantly, and 3. It's a crap life for a chicken and back yard chicken owners love there girls and believe in lots of room, and good food and treats and not caged and able to run free in a fenced in erea.
She said they set presidence that night, not only did they not vote , they threw it out, decided it was never before an issue and there for need not surface again. When one of the council members spoke asking for any nays... None spoke, and then he said well let's drop this from the books like it was never spoken of. That is something they never do .
As far as chickens I can breed pure I just have the BLRWs and Ameraucanas. All my other chickens are mutts or either roos with no matching hens or hens with no matching roos.
