We are available, as time allows, as a consultant to help you get your laws passed or revised. We are not lawyers. However, we have researched the topic far and wide and have helped put together quite few successful ordinances. We have a lot of research available for you at no cost. The more cases we work on the better the process becomes and the faster it happens. For us, this is one way we give back to the communities that we live, work and play in. Yes, if you can afford it we will accept small donations since printing, postage and gasoline costs are always rising but it is not mandatory.
We used to visit nursing homes; some on a regular basis. Patients come out of their shells and the chicken takes them back to a better time in their lives. Sadly, our own health is declining so we had to curtail this activity.
We used to visit schools, scout groups and whoever else may be interested in chickens. Let us know what you have in mind. Due to health considerations we have had to curtail much of our activities. please inquire about special trips, etc. We have several people who have gone through our classes and have excelled. they are also experienced chicken owners. Let us know what you have in mind and we can refer you in the proper direction.
In all the communities that we have had ordinances passed in our favor we have had included the mandatory need for at least one responsible person per family to attend a certified class. We always provided these classes at a modest cost to you. During the time of the Corona Virus, we now had the ability to teach the classes ON-LINE! This became quite an expense to us. We wanted to keep the cost of the classes as low as possible. Our solution was to promote several of our best students to teachers. We have provided them with all the PowerPoint programs and we are just a phone call away should they need anything from us.
We also provide occasional chicken health classes usually conducted by a registered veterinarian. We usually ask a small donation for these classes as veterinarians don't come cheap. We have one of the younger ones in the area available. She is a very good speaker and she is also a very good listener.
Our pilot program initially had 24 families. Our pilot was converted to an ordinance after two years. We now have about 30 families. We meet several times a year to share our concerns and support each other. We occasionally have programs aimed at the back-yard chicken owner and it may often be helpful to others in your community. Networking is very important these days and we promote conversations between chicken owners. This is also a good excuse to have a picnic or a party. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us. Visitors are always welcome to our meetings. Contact us for more information.
