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.

Angela supported: Proposal to Allow Chickens, Rabbits, Ducks, etc. - White Lake TownshipWe 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residents from having backyard chickens limits our right to sustainable living, local food sources, and seems like an outdated restriction to residents that have ample space to accommodate such setups.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.
