Chickens are a great way to engage with our community and neighbors. When we lived outside city limits, our children loved learning how to raise and care for chickens. It’s a great opportunity that requires very little land compared to the requirements of most other animals. I would love for others to have the same opportunity to experience the chicken life, regardless of zip code, if they so choose!
Aubrey supported: Allow City Residents to Keep and Care for Backyard ChickensNicholasville allowed me to have chickens within city limits. Not only were they a joy to have, EVERYONE neighbor enjoyed them and all of the kids learned something from them. It’s not every day a child gets to be up close and personal with chickens. They do not smell. They are great at controlling pests. They are not noisy and they provide eggs and meat for families. I believe the ban should be lifted and allow (X) amount of hens within city limits much like Nicholasville!
Anna supported: Revise Georgetown KY City Ordinance to Allow Chickens within City LimitsI have raised hens within city limits in Lexington before. The joy of watching chickens grow and collecting eggs daily was a real joy! After moving to Georgetown and learning this was not allowed in city limits seemed to me to be a bit...backward. With tge price of eggs greater than $4.00 per dozen, there has never been a better time to revise this ordinance. Let's join our neighbors and start welcoming these sociable birds into our back yards.

Chloe supported: Revise Georgetown KY City Ordinance to Allow Chickens within City LimitsBefore realizing they were prohibited we had hens. Our 14yr old son raised them and then had a little business with surrounding neighbors. It was a great learning experience for him as he did all the work. Not to mention how much better a fresh egg tastes 😋 They never smelled and were never loud. Just like with any other pet, they can be great if taken care of properly.
Tosha supported: Revise Georgetown KY City Ordinance to Allow Chickens within City LimitsI grew up with a pet rooster. He was a wonderful pet, and I have very fond memories of him. He lived to be 13 years old! Please make an exception for this child. Pets are important to children’s happiness and they learn many lessons by caring for them.
Esther supported: Reword ordinance to allow certain rooster breeds for conservation or educationChickens provide eggs, meat, and play a valuable role in sustainable living—reducing food waste, producing natural fertilizer, and supporting local food systems. People should have the option to raise them as a way to provide for their families. Outright bans don’t just limit self-reliance—they can cripple a family & community’s ability to thrive.
Katherine supported: Legalize Keeping Chickens/ducks in Arroyo GrandeI've owned chickens for years and enjoyed thier company and thier eggs, they clean my yard of pests,free fertilizer. They can feed a family easily, but I believe that's the problem they don't want us to be able to sustain our families. We're watching our food supply dwindling, prices rising, if you can responsibly raise them then do it. I'm finding our local government is so far disconnected from reality it's a crime how a few people can make our lives worse.i will say this roosters do make alot of noise all the time I would not like that close to me. My hens are wonderful. Remember we vote for these people, they almost got away with raising our taxes 32%. And now they want to stop you from growing your own food wake up people. God bless you all
