Looking to change ordinance in the city limits

[Lhundt76]

My name is Laurie, I have always wanted chickens since I was a child. Somehow I ended up in the city limits of Whitehall (not my choice) and now the ordinance states no poultry. My husband is a rule-follower and even though the ordinance is not followed he says no chickens until it is legal. I am on here not only to gain knowledge but to see if others have overcook this same obstacle.

WELCOME!

Go to BYC social forum> where am I, ....> find your state thread in the pinned post at top. Others in your area/state can provide insight.

search the law forum to see if any other helpful threads.


Often if you present good info/stats/ benefits, you can find some support for chickens.

non-rule breaking option: Cotournix quail. Keep in cages in garage or home. They lay every day practically, starting at 6-9 weeks old. Easy to butcher. You’ll not need any males but if you have males, then only have 1 per cage of 4-5 females.
