anyone good at research want to help a chicken sanctuary make a better case for backyard hens across Canada?

heyyy, putting this out there for a small sanctuary that could use a hand...

Secondhand Stories Chicken Sanctuary has a "Backyard Chicken Report" they've been using to make the case to local councilors for allowing backyard hens. right now it's built around one town (Smiths Falls, ON), and they want to turn it into something any advocate in Canada could download and bring to their own municipality.

that's where a researcher comes in. the work is basically: fact-check what's already in the report, dig up national stats and examples of municipalities that have done this well, and suggest edits for their board to sign off on. end goal is a solid, adaptable reference guide people can actually hand to their city council.

details:

• Time: ~3–8 hrs/week, short-term (roughly 1–8 weeks)
• Timezone: UTC-4, but the work is async so flexible
• Good fit if you: like synthesizing info from lots of sources, are careful about accuracy, and can organize messy research into something clean and persuasive
