We are a grassroots organization. Our purpose is to change the zoning laws to allow more residents of Chesapeake, VA, to keep micro-flocks of hens as backyard pets. Contact us at https://www.facebook.com/4ChesapeakeHens. Sign our petition at http://www.change.org/petitions/4chesapeakehens# before July 20, 2012. For a funny "XtraNormal" satire of the current zoning laws, try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o6XyjwRBX8 . The video explains why we need urban hens.
