Day 96 Support Urban Chickens
Wednesday, April 6 -Tonight the Great Falls city commissioners vote on allowing chickens, hens only, to be confinement raised in the city limits. So by the day this says it is, we will know the fate of the chicken. I have written all the commissioners urging them to vote For the ordinance. After reading the proposed ordinance on cluc.org I see no reason for not allowing hens. They have more restrictions proposed than dogs or cats. This has become quite a heated issue. It sounds to me like it might have started from a fight between feuding neighbors. Sad when our freedom to grow some of our food (eggs) is taken away by government. Here are some shots of my fancy, dancy rooster. We gave no idea what breed he is, as he came with the rest of them and was considered an exotic. He is very fancy, for sure, and hard to photograph. My buff roosters almost seem to enjoy posing.
Are you going to the city commissioners meeting tomorrow night? Let me know how the vote plays out.
