Your Support is Needed

Hey Backyard Poultry Buffs,

Margy Stancill, a resident of Kensington, MD was a guest on my radio show this week. We have had many conversations since, and she has requested that we all contact the Montgomery County officials that are giving her problems about keeping backyard pet chickens.

Some of the statements that have been made according to Margy are...

"if the chickens are laying eggs then they are not pets"

"if they are not running around the yard free and not going in your house at night, then they are not pets"

I guess this means that outside cats and dogs are not pets either.

Please contact the county officials listed below and show your support for Margy Stancill.

Based on the comments listed above, they need a little help understanding that backyard chickens can be pets!

Thank you for your support!

Special Request

SPECIAL REQUEST!

I have set up a special fund to help Rose & Kirk Derry. Rose was rushed to the hospital on Friday and had emergency surgery. Rose has a long road to recovery and needs our help. Kirk has been in and out of the hospital over the last few weeks, and Rose has had a very hard time finding work. Now she is in the hospital with a serious illness. I talked with Kirk this morning and their primary need right now is financial. The basic needs that need to be met are mortgage, utilities, food, and gas. The hospital staff ordered Kirk home today because of his poor health. Neither are able to work at this time. Rose is the Assistant Organizer of the Lansing Backyard Poultry Meetup Group and a long time listener, fan, and follower of the Backyard Poultry with Chicken Whisperer Radio Show. Not to mention a good friend. Please consider making a donation to help Rose & Kirk during this difficult time.

Please make checks payable to Chicken Whisperer, Inc. and mail to:
Chicken Whisperer, Inc.
P.O. Box 2681 Alpharetta, Georgia 30023

I will then write Rose & Kirk one check and send it to them in a card from all of us! I know times are tough for all of us right now, but please give what you can. Thank you!

Protect Your Flock with Night Guard Solar

Hey Backyard Poultry Buffs,

One of the biggest responsibilities we have as backyard chicken keepers is to keep our flocks safe from predators. Why? Because there will always be something that will love your chickens more than you. Most predators have nothing else to do but figure out how to gain access to your flock.

When planning your coop and run you must address how you will protect your flock from predators. Many protective measures can be built into the coop and the run, like burying the fence between 12 and 18 inches deep to help prevent digging predators and attaching netting above your coop and run to help prevent predators from above.

Why not prevent predators from getting that close anyway by installing Nite Guard Solar lights. Nite Guard Solar is based on scientific research. A flash of light implies to all animals that hunt or feed at night that they have been “discovered” or are being watched. This is their deepest fear and forces them to flee the area. A simple, but effective concept.

Backyard Poultry with the Chicken Whisperer listeners can now take advantage of an introductory offer. Get four Nite Guard Solar lights for just $100.00 plus shipping! That is a savings of $20.00! Just ask for the Chicken Whisperer Special when you call and order! 1-800-328-6647
