Re: “Fowl Territory”
Carol,
Do a little research and see how many cities, who have embraced hens for years, advocate for roosters...
We are not asking for roosters.
We're asking for what is basic in most other cities... we're not re-inventing the wheel, we're just catching up to contemporary zoning.
Re: “Fowl Territory”
Our local CHICKUNZ organization already offers re-homing, regular chicken care workshops, and a vibrant urban chicken community who are already addressing Brenda's issues (and, in the five years we have existed, we have only had about four re-homing requests and that only because they were cited, and those hens were re-homed all within 24 hours). And with no government / community tax dollars expended! : )

Re: “Out of Cluck”
Bubby,
We are not advocating for roosters. We are waiting for Richmond to legalize what is *perfectly legal* in Ashland, Charlottesville, Petersburg, what our Virginia extentiona agency has already written about, and pretty much most other cities in this nation already embrace - just google some of your favorite cities and then add "coop tour" to the results... you can see what bigger cities are already doing.
So yes, we are waiting for Richmond to catch up.
Richmond has a long history of legal hens in the city, and people now want to return to a more sustainable lifestyle, and we see it as a basic food right that is already allowed pretty much in every other place in the country.
As for a chicken getting out, no one wants that for reasons you mentioned- unleashed dogs.

No roosters. : )
Google your favorite cities and then add "coop tour" and you just might be surprised how many bigger cities you admire not only embrace hens but have added Annual Coop Tours to their cultural agenda, most who even raise money for local community causes like their food bank.
In fact, Raleigh's Tour D'Coop just raised over $5,000 and 3,000 pounds of food for their local food bank last month!
