New Member in need of help!!!

[lhays]

Hello all,

I am seeking advise. I live in the San Antonio area actually Live Oak Texas and came home yesterday to a citation warning on my door that I am not allowed to have chickens. I researched before venturing into this idea and found county codes instead of local. Of course everyone around us can have up to 3 chickens however the 1986 code for live oak does not. I have 30 days to fight this ordinance or return my chickens. I found a publication on step by step and this is the first place they told me to go. I need numbers, in order to fight (change) this ordinance to accept up to 3 in a back yard I need more people behind me than just myself and family. So here I am, can anyone help?

Sincerely,

LHays

Oh, I am SO sorry! Here is a link to our forums, Chicken Laws and How To Change Them. You will get lots of support and information on how to go about changing the laws. I don't know anything about changing them, but I sure hope you are able to keep your birds.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sorry about the code problems, hope you are able to get them changed, X2 on the Laws forum and you might want to post in the TX state thread in case there are other people near you. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/44/texas

You need other Texas folks to join you - the state thread is the best way to reach them.
