Please follow the link and sign the petition if you can support this cause... This is only about allowing a resident to raise a limited number of chickens or rabbits for personal use. I don't mean to ride the "High Horse". but it bugs the crap out of me that in many neighborhoods a citizen can own Parrots, multiple dogs (I have a dog), multiple cats (we have one rescue cat), large snakes, large reptiles, or any number of invasive species, but NO CHICKENS! There is a new trend with self sustainability...we should be allowed to grow our own veggies or harvest our own eggs for personal use. BTW-Chicken poo makes great compost...dog and cat poo, not so much. Happy new year! ------------------------- the older we get, the better we were |

thanks ograbac...it's a pretty simple form to fill out.
You don't have to own chickens or live in Brevard. It's still a worthy movement. ------------------------- the older we get, the better we were |

I don't know if you caught it, but I sent you some chicken info on the "Rooster needs a home" thread...in most situations its doable.

I'm not sure what the homeowner's associate would say...
But I'd love to have fresh eggs. ------------------------- Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics German, and it is all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the police are German, the chefs British, the mechanics French, and it is all organized by the Italians. |

Done. I have been seriously considering getting a couple of hens. Not sure if the extra work would be worth it though. |

Not a lot of work when you get the hang of it...chickens are easy.

You guys beachside are on it. A few comments from the petition page...
We will all have to one day return to at least a partial agrarian society. Why not begin the transition now, so that it is not such an abrupt and painful process when it becomes necessary. Thanks! IHB It's a God given right to be able to provide for yourself and your family. Chickens lay many eggs without roosters so my neighborhood would be quiet. IHB I thought this was a free country? We have less freedom than Iraqis when it comes to owning livestock. Satellite beach (one of our own perhaps?  )

Done. ------------------------- In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you learn to let go? ~Buddha |

Saw where Orlando is starting a trial program for allowing chickens in residential back yards.
http://www.wesh.com/news/31027731/detail.html Maybe Brevard/Palm Bay will take notice. DM |

I read that about orlando, good for them. I also found it interesting that they have Urban Chicken programs in Los Angeles, NYC, and Chicago...looking forward to this trend in Brevard.
