INC NEWS - Chickens in Durham!

Subject: Chickens in Durham!


Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Currently, chickens are only allowed in Durham Residential Suburban  
Zone 20.   There is no reason they should not be allowed in any urban  
backyard.   A hen raised around people can be an affectionate pet  
that also provides fresh eggs, reduces waste by eating yard waste and  
kitchen scraps, provides rich fertilizer for the garden, controls  
pests, and brings us closer to our food source. The noise level is no  
more than a dog. A chicken coop that is properly designed and  
maintained poses no threat to sanitation. Please click on the  
following link to sign a petition asking the City Council to  
reconsider allowing chickens within the city limits:

Please forward widely within Durham .

For more information regarding chicken coop construction and other  
chicken resources, please contact Kavanah Ramsier at SEEDS Community  
Garden , 683-1197; kavanah at seedsnc.org
