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
