I will begin drafting a letter, and putting together something. What do you think is the best method of delivery, mail, email, or in hand on the 13th?

I signed its just wrong to assume that if you have more than one rooster you are fighting them, it is like gun control strict gun controls where brought into law after the Dunblane incident result gun crime has gone up not down.

Hello!

The best way is to email and mail letters to all the Supervisors OTHER THAN Bill Horn (since he's already on our side) and Dianne Jacobs (she WILL NOT change her position on the ordinance). I really want to focus on the other supervisors because if we can get everyone but Dianne Jacobs to oppose it we'll be good.

If you could please CC me on any email letter you send to the supervisors I'd really appreciate it as I'm trying to keep a folder of all the letters people have written and I will be presenting a packet of them to the supervisors by hand when I speak at the meeting so that they have NO CHOICE but to read them.

Thank you!

I would be okay with having to be registered as a breeder/hobbyist. I would even be happy to disclose the breeds that I have and allow an inspection. I would even pay a reasonable permit fee, if absolutly neccessary, but I wouldn't bring that up unless I had to. lol

I agree with RHRanch-and all of the above. I have 3 month old EE's, 2 American Javas, 3 Leghorns, and hopefully Creveceours to hatch this week. I live on .49 acre, homeschool, and I plan to have my 9 yr. old daughter and I build our rare breed collection, slowly but surely, so that we are preserving and supporting critically endangered breeds AND, so that IF, and I mean if, everyone's right about my daughter not being able to function on her own when she's older, we wanted to make this a life-long enabling ability for her since we really love our chickens.

I am completely bewildered in reading the County's own ordinance plan that they are skipping logical reasoning in their own ordinance proposal. On page one, they said surrounding states say its a felony to cockfight, so why didn't they propose to make it a felony to cockfight instead of jumping to this level? I'm also wondering if they plan on rounding up all the rooster they can find and shipping them out of county? How weird! Or were they going to eat them? It also stated that there would be no impact on the environment. (Have they NOT READ the Critically endangered list and that there are many of us supporting and raising those numbers of those lists so that they don’t go extinct? Since it takes a male to have a baby, well, how is that supposed to happen with only hens?) I get it, there's how many chickens in the world? Millions, but there is also an importance to keep important existing lines of breeds open, even fi they are just chickens. Am I wrong? (I didn't finish the ordinance proposal, just the first page so far. My daughter and I will go to the meeting BowmansBirds...I need to sign up still.

And, my rant...my 2 neighbors and I just spent at least a couple thousand dollars between all three of us building coops, runs, purchasing chickens, geese, farm animals. That's a lot of money (although most of my stuff is from the shed
