There's serious resistance to allowing chickens in the towns here [View all]

I went to the town meeting earlier this month and brought up the idea of considering changing the zoning ordinances to allow residents to keep chickens. Other then the board members and me, the only other person there was a reporter for the local paper.

The reporter told me there were some people in a nearby town who wanted to keep chickens but so many were against it, the proposal didn't get far. I know that in two local towns in the opposite direction, there's a great deal of hostility towards allowing chickens.

I believe that there's a good chance I'll be successful. The town supervisor said he'll have the lawyer who does work for the town at the next meeting and he'll explain what steps need to be done to change the ordinance.
