I lost several chicks that were shipped to a customer because of negligence by the post office. The chicks were 2 days late getting to the customer and it caused them to perish. The post office allowed them to sit in their warehouse or truck for days. This was devastating.
I appreciate the concern but why is the petitioner still shipping one day old chicks if he knows they are suffering? One day old chicks should be with their mothers, not in containers being shipped like cargo.
I’ve had backyard chickens for 3 years now and fully believe everyone should have the chance to own chickens too! They are relaxing and we share fresh eggs with friends and family! All the kids come to see our girls too!
As a chicken keeper, I encourage backyard chicken ownership - especially now that egg prices are continually rising in price. Small backyard flocks are easy to maintain and keep clean, and have many benefits including teaching children how to care for animals, providing fresh eggs for the family, and providing fresh mulch and compost for plants and flowers. We encourage your to consider voting YES for chickens in Connellsville! Many of your surrounding neighbors do, there shouldn't be any reason to not! Let your ordinances for noise and mess handle the rest - approve chicken ownership for your community!
By keeping chickens, we can produce great fertilizer for fruits and vegetables and have a healthy source of eggs to families that need them. We can teach a class within the community to ensure that the chickens are well provided for.
We are having an egg shortage in the US at the moment and every little bit helps. We need to come together as a community to help one another in these hard times.
As neighbors just a few houses away from Becky, we have no problem with her having chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc in her run in her front yard. She has worked really hard to comply with the county variance in the context of her property allowances & we believe it’s only fair that she should be acknowledged as a law abiding good neighbor as things stand now, without any further changes, especially since she followed the direction of the official Bartow county official. Any decision less than this acknowledgment means not only unfairness to her but to all of us since we would then be asking, who will be next to be picked on at the whim of whoever is in power.
I live 2 houses down from Becky and have enjoyed getting to know her. She is very kind and cares about all her chickens and turkeys. As a neighbor, I do not see the need for her to move her chicken run/housing to another location. She has worked very hard complying the first time to move it and stayed within regulations. Because we live in the country and many of the neighbors have chickens - I don’t see the need for her to move it to her back yard where her property is not conducive to putting up a chicken run. We are all neighbors and care for each other on Long Road and I personally support Becky and her position to keep the chicken run where it is currently located.
