How about Harriet? Or Hillary?

I couldn't make the meeting tonight. I started a group called Chicken Lovers on NextDoor.Com. just now. I want to invite you but don't know your email. Check it out if you'd like. I'd like to find more people in Oak Creek so we can get organized.

Thanks. I Sent an email to my alderman again last Friday. He sent one back stating they're still researching the issue. My alderman happens to be president of the Common Council. I asked if the issue was going to be on agenda for their meeting where citizens could speak. There is a meeting...

Not if ya live in Oak Creek. Prohibited here. How can I change the law, ir should I talk to neighbors, offer eggs for silence, and go stealth?

I live in Oak Creek too. I want backyard birds as well. I emailed my alderman who replied to my email last week. He said they are revisiting the situation because other residents inquired and he would let me know in a couple weeks. I, for one, would like to connect up with other residents in...

Well, I'm afraid I don't have tips to keep predators out of the yard, because I'm not a chicken owner yet. In my city it's illegal to keep birds in residential areas. Even though other cities nearby allow them. Maybe Google has an answer? Good luck

I live in a city about 38,000 population. There are foxes and coyotes around. Raccoons too. They can be nasty

Oh, almost forgot to tell you I sent another email to him today letting him know I'm aware that all the surrounding municipalities allow chickens via a permit. How many birds do you want to keep? I'm thinking 4 hens for me

Just wanna let you know I began corresponding with my alderman. He says other residents have also inquired. Contact alderman if you haven't already. We gotta be able to keep birds. The eggs don't cause blood clots. That was a lie spread by fear porn

Are you thinking of raising them, or are you doing it stealth? I may do it anyway, with or without permission

I found out that Oak Creek WI does not allow chickens. Is there anyone in this area that could help me change the law? Thanks

I also grow vegetables and want to get chickens. I'm in a city, though I'd love the country. I can't move from here. I make my own toothpaste, deodorants, and when I'm done with my bottle shampoo, I'm making shampoo bars. I make my own soap and lotion bars. I can my food, and store bought...

I love this article! Some of the information I already knew from people I know who have raised or currently raising chickens. When I cracked open my first farm egg. I thought there was something wrong with it. The yolk was orange! I never knew what the inside of a farm raised egg looked like...

Hi. I don't have chickens yet but want to learn as much as I can. Just for back yard up to 4 birds I'm doing it for the eggs.
