motherhen Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi guys We've got a very sad situation up here in the north east. An elderly couple in Gateshead who grow their own food and keep bees and 2 hens are being threatened with eviction unless they get rid of their hens - they are refusing to give up their hens. http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2009/03/18/support-flies-in-for-chicken-row-couple-61634-23168848/ Anyway, there is a Downing Street Petition to abolish by-laws which prohibit people from keeping hens in their gardens (it does exclude cockerals!) If any of you would like to sign you can find it at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/GardenPoultry/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
