Greetings,

Do you or does someone you know keep chickens in town despite local
ordinances? Are you involved in the effort to change local laws to allow
backyard chickens? Are you against the effort? I hope you'll consider helping
one of my students, Rob Flaherty, with his interesting project on the
politics of raising chickens in the city.

Please forward this request to relevant local lists.

Thank you!

**Seeking "illegal" chickens and the people who keep them**

Hi there!

I'm doing a documentary on backyard chicken keeping in the City of Ithaca for
my senior thesis at Ithaca College. We're focusing a bit on the story of the
legalization "process," but also on what the experience is of keeping
chickens "under the cover of darkness". We're trying to find folks who are
"illegal chicken keepers" and interview them on camera and get some footage
of their chickens as well. We're speaking to a few people in Fall Creek, but
we need more! We understand not wanting to out yourself, so we're willing to
blur out faces, etc. If you're interested in being highlighted and making the
case for sustainable urban chickening, please email me (Rob) at
RobertRFlaherty AT gmail.com
