Keeping my chickens in Dearborn Heights

[fatima90t]

Hello all,
This morning an officer came in and gave us a week to remove our backyard hens. I couldn't find any information online regarding Dearborn Heights law on how to get a permit. Can anyone help me on this. I really want to keep my chickens, I raised them since they were babies, and they just started laying eggs two weeks ago.
Please help.
Thank you

If you aren’t allowed to keep them due to living in the city, I don’t think there are any permits you can get to keep them. I hope you can find them a good home.

What do your ordinances say? Was there a permit process and you just skipped it, or did you not check ordinances in your neighborhood/city/county before getting them?
