I have recently created The Hens4Mantua Project
The Hens4Mantua Project seeks to educate the community of the benefits of backyard hens in Mantua Township.
The ultimate objective of the Hens4Mantua Project is the modification of Mantua Township ordinances so residents can keep a limited number of backyard hens, while prohibiting roosters, and ensuring secure, proper, and humane enclosures for hens. Current zoning requirements preclude virtually all Mantua Township residents from keeping backyard hens. Current ordiances only allow for chickens on propteries of 5 acres or more.
I have created a website and online petition in hopes of rallying support for this change.
If you could please visit our site, sign the petition and pass it along to anyone that you know would support our cause, I would be grateful.
If you live in Mantua township, please get onboard so we can affect change. If you do not live in Mantua township, but would like to show your support it would be helpful if when you sign the petition you add a comment about why you support this. i.e. you have hens yourself and can speak to their being ideal pets, or you live in a town that permits them, and you can see no issue with them.
I can also be reached at [email protected]
I would also welcome any suggestions or feedback about the site as this is my first run at this.
Thank you.
