[troopertripp]

Hello everyone, I need help with information positive for convincing my village to pass an amendment to the village codes to allow backyard chickens. Any help would be appreciated.

Glad to meet you, Tripp, and welcome to BYC. I sure hope you can get that amendment passed. I bet there are a lot more folks like you who want chickens. Here is a web post about changing local laws to allow poultry, that has lots of very specific advice. And here is a post from BYC telling how somebody else did it. Best wishes getting that law changed!
