Are your chickens lawbreakers? Have you checked lately? All Across the United States local cities, towns, counties, are engaged in show downs over Chicken Laws. Its quite a flap (Oh Yes I did). Today on the show, were going to talk about the various issues with backyard flocks. We’ll discuss different examples of how these struggles get resolved…or don’t.. And what you can do about it. Lots of people are fighting the good fight, pushing their local government to change Chicken laws to allow people to keep chickens on their own property.
Not everybody is on board however. There are forces big and small out there who want to prevent people from passing chicken laws. Some are “Big Poultry”, but most are busy-body neighbors with not much argument. Yet, due to their persistence, and lack of being challenged by chicken owners, they often carry the day at the local planning meeting, and prevent chicken laws from being passed.
There are a lot of things you can do to change the law in your favor however. And a great many of them aren’t really that much work. Today on the show we’re going to show you whats worked in other areas, and give you talking points and tactics to help win over chicken laws in your favor.
For example; remember when we talked about Live Oak, Ca, and the popularity of their free range city chickens that hang out at coffee shops? A politician might give over to a small group of complainers.. But if they see the potential for growth and buzz, they might see things differently.
Even if you have no intention of fighting legislatively, these talking points are still useful for you in talking to others, and convincing people that backyard chickens aren’t just OK, they’re a great idea.
Were also going to be talking on the show today about Sentinel chickens.. The chickens you probably don’t even know are keeping your flock safe! Find out about these secretive chicken heroes. We’ll also take you into the world of mad scientists… Where they are slowly reverse engineering the chicken on a genetic level to produce little chicken /dinosaur hybrids.
You Can’t Rooster Like You Used To…Says Zydeco Joe in our featured music.. But we can still fight to keep hens, even in the cities! Let this show “Give you a booster” to do just that!
Turning chickens into dinosaurs, crude innuendo and overturning the law… where else, but the Twin Beaks Chicken Podcast!
