Thanks for the nice article, Cindy. Glad CR is moving forward with this issue. Especially as our food sources become less reliable, it's important to have these kinds of options.

Really? What a creepy, Brave New World story.
I'll wait a few minutes for KCRG to finish telling me what I think before I continue with my morning.

Let's build a giant chicken coop at the True North site. Horray for chickens!

It's not Alliant's event, so NO they don't have their hands in the kettle, they are a generous race sponsor..a little non-profit called CVRA (Cedar Valley Running Association) is the organization that puts on the race and is responsible for all the funding involved. Alliant already gives CVRA a ton of money and support to put the race on, but the City keeps upping the ante.

The City has already set aside a fund that is intended to pay for Police overtime costs. They had $25k in that pot when they started. $15K has already been promised to Freedom Festival. The Police have said the three biggest events that they need to staff are: 1) Freedom Fest Fireworks, 2) Ellis Harbor Fireworks, and 3) Alliant Energy/CVRA 5th Season Races on July 4th. Both Ellis and the 5th Season Race people are each being asked to pony up about $9000 to cover mandated Police security. Why can't the City give them each $5000 to help out those events?

Cedar Rapids Citizens for the Legalization of Urban Chickens. I wish I could claim it...but it was someone else's idea. It's hilarious on several levels. Not as hilarious as all this fuss over a few hens, though.....

Dear Mayor Corbet and councilmembers:
I realize you are probably reading the "comments" posted here. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry our city is full of people who can not Google "backyard chickens" and I sincerely hope that their anonymous, crappy comments don't sway your willingness to give this idea a chance.
Thanks,
Rachel Morey
CR-CLUC member and future hen owner.

Other communities are already allowing backyard hens without problems. There will be no special Cedarrapidian Chicken Disease, Extra-Foxy Cedarrapidian Foxes, or Super smelly Cedarrapidian Chicken Poop.
