Oconto, WI, Chickens to City Hall!

[Lurch77]

I am on the agenda to speak with the City of Oconto council this Tuesday, April 8th, about changing the ordinance to allow backyard chickens. I have done a ton of research, and all the council members have a copy of it. I have been able to talk to a few of them face to face, and of those the response seems positive. Some are all for it, some are on the fence. I had none of them explicitly say they are against the idea. I think after reading my research with an open mind they should come around.

Anyway, I know this is a small city and likely no one on this forum is from around here. But if you do live nearby, I would love your support. Many cities around here already allow chickens. If anyone from one of those cities could add their experiences it would be greatly appreciated. The meeting is Tuesday, April 8th, at 6pm. Oconto city hall building.

Hello, I know I am a little late but I would really like to raise a few chickens in my backyard. First for a few eggs, second to eat them. I hope more people give support to this.
