PEOPLE OF FLORIDA! Sign the petition to allow Backyard Chickens in ALL of Orange County!
Since 2013, Orange County commissioners have discussed chicken programs five times — but never approved one. However, just this last year, the board was considering a proposed ordinance that would permit residents to keep up to four hens in a coop in the backyard.
But some critics of Orange County’s proposed urban-chicken program balked about the plan to let residents keep the egg-laying birds in their backyards — forcing a delay on a decision by county commissioners until at least August 2021.
What we are asking is for a change in the ordinances against owning backyard chickens in all of Orange County, and adopting a new ordinance that allows citizens in residential zoned areas to own a small backyard flock.
