I'm going to be the Rosa in Cedarburg. My model will be open for anyone who would like to get concepts/ideas or just see how ridiculously easy and un-obtrusive it is. One condition: this can not become a spectacle. I honestly think no one would even know you had a coop with two chickens in it if you treated it like a tomato garden. Who wants two well-behaved hens? My little boys carry them around.

 I think we only need a few brave ones to start, more will be willing to support than lead and lots will follow once it is legal.  I would chip into the fund too....I guess we need a lawyer on board, and a fund raiser for Rosa and the Rosa....   There has to be someone out there who has some energy for this and loves the idea of hens.   The Rosa should have rather nice clean yard and into doing things in a tidy way so the pictures the media gets will be very favorable.  Maybe that would be part of the benefit of being the Rosa,   People would help you set up and make it look really cute.....

 So how about we seek $20 pledges for legal fees for
 The Rosa Park of Hens.

 See if we can raise $1,000.

 I've got $20 for this.

 to note, there was a complaint that made this a news issue, but I know there are complaints about dogs in my neighborhood often and they don't outlaw them.  And they don't help anyone get fed.  Come on, who will be our Rosa Parks of hens.....  decide to do it, ask us to stand behind you and then break this law and then we all help you fight it.  It is a rights issue.

 Cambridge Zoning Meeting to Determine the Legality of Backyard Chickens
 Thursday, February 11th
 7:30pm
 Central Square Senior Center, 806 Massachusetts Avenue,
  
 There will be a hearing to determine the legality of having chickens and ducks in Cambridge. Up to this point there has been a "thin gray line" and the animals have been allowed because no one complained. Late last year a group of neighbors complained about chickens and ducks at 220 Putnam and so the legality of issue is being raised with the Board of Zoning Appeals.
 Here's a link to a website about the 220 Putnam animals (www.savetheducks.org <http://www.savetheducks.org/> ) and a petition to change/modify the zoning to allow chickens and ducks in the city. If you care about people responsibly raising chickens in an urban environment, please consider signing the petition or even attending the BZA meeting on Thursday evening.
 ------------------
 I just heard about this incident and hope that we can support the housing coop that is involved! Do you have any stories, successful or otherwise, about legality issues around keeping backyard chickens and ducks in your town?
