Many residents in our community have expressed the desire to raise hens in their backyard. The benefits of this are numerous, ranging from organic and pesticide-free egg production to the promotion of sustainable living behaviors. Furthermore, hens can play an important role in controlling harmful insects, contributing to a healthier and cleaner environment. Despite these advantages, current regulations prohibit keeping hens on residential property, creating barriers to engaging in these eco-friendly practices.

By adjusting our regulations to allow hen ownership, we can foster the creation of a community which cares deeply about sustainability and our environment. Thus, we call on our local officials to revisit these restrictions and allow the residents to keep hens on their property. Sign this petition if you believe in the right to engage in responsible hen ownership.
