Hello Like Minded People!
We have brooded chicks 3 times and given them away the first 2 when they were old enough to go outside. In the spring of 2020, we decided to keep the brood, despite an unclear ordinance. We have 6 hens, no roosters, they do not free range, we have 1.5 acres of land on the edge of agricultural zoning. Long story short...A Karen complained, we were served a violation, paid a hefty fee to appeal, lost the appeal, and are now in process to have the ordinance ammended to clearly and specifically allow for the keeping of backyard chickens. I am now seeking support from other members of my community.
If you live in Hempfield Township, PA, please email the Township Supervisors asking them to amend the ordinance. Also, please attend the public meeting Oct 24 at 7pm.
