For the last two years I've been wanting to raise chickens. Sadly unincorporated dupage only allows it if you have 5+acers or one Acer and are part of 4h. Sadly I'm in neither one of those. So here's the question, how do you go about getting the ordnance changed? There's a bunch of towns surrounding that allow back yard chicken keeping. And I feel like being unincorporated the rules shouldn't be as struck as they are. My surrounding neighbors are all great we all talk frequently and have had zero issues within the last 5yrs, I feel like they'd be okay with it. Personally I feel like if its alright with your neighbors you should be able to keep a couple hens. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely stop by that link that Yorkshire Coop has left for you to our Ordinances forums. You might get help there in changing laws. I have never had to get any laws changed so I can't be sure how it is done.

Good luck and I hope you can get a flock of chickens soon!
