I moved to White Lake from a city in Minnesota with a population of more than 300,000 and small city lot sizes. Chickens were allowed and common. I was absolutely shocked to find the lot size requirement in White Lake, a place that still feels rural despite its development and proximity to larger cities. Chickens are a breeze to care for and are an educational experience not only for children but also for adults. Too many people have become severely disconnected from where their food comes from and silly regulations like this one don't help. We need to give power back to people. There are so many benefits to collecting your own eggs, from knowing what the hens are being fed to the environmental impact of not shipping eggs long distances and keeping them cool. It's a no-brainer... residents of White Lake should be allowed to have hens, ducks, and rabbits regardless of their lot size.
emma, supported: Proposal to Allow Chickens, Rabbits, Ducks, etc. - White Lake TownshipI am hoping you will consider amending the poultry ordinance here in white Lake. I have 2 young girls, 5 and 7 at home. I would love for them to wake up in the morning and be excited to run outside and see our chickens. I think it is a great teaching opportunity about responsibility and animal care. More importantly being able to show them where our food is coming from. Chickens help control pest problems and are natural fertilizers which greatly reduces the need to use chemicals. I’m
Angela, supported: Proposal to Allow Chickens, Rabbits, Ducks, etc. - White Lake TownshipBy keeping chickens, we can produce great fertilizer for fruits and vegetables and have a healthy source of eggs to families that need them. We can teach a class within the community to ensure that the chickens are well provided for.
We are having an egg shortage in the US at the moment and every little bit helps. We need to come together as a community to help one another in these hard times.
merissa, supported: Legalize Backyard Chickens in Peoria, IL (hens only)Ive been getting the buffalo strips for years . I mean years. Since I was in grade school then bam they get changed up on me and I hate the new ones so much I literally lost my favorite snack .. and I'm not joking I use to put in one in the microwave and eat one of the way to work every day... Sometimes another one before bed or before I gotta leave the house.. or just when I was watching TV.. now I got nothing... Ugh I seriously miss them
BETHANY, supported: Tyson Foods: Bring back the old Tyson Any'tizers Boneless Chicken Bites Buffalo Style flavor!!We just had to get rid of our chickens because of this ordinance. With as expensive as groceries are now we rely on living off our own land
Holly, supported: Grand Blanc township chicken ordinanceRestricting residents from having backyard chickens limits our right to sustainable living, local food sources, and seems like an outdated restriction to residents that have ample space to accommodate such setups. Many communities successfully allow backyard hens without issue, promoting self-sufficiency and environmental benefits. With reasonable guidelines, residents should have the freedom to raise chickens just as they can have pets or gardens.
