Changing the backyard chicken ordinance is going to be topic #1 at tonights Planning Board meeting.
It will start at 8-PM in the town hall #39 Academy St Califon, NJ.
My understanding is that chickens are currently NOT allowed, but they have unofficially been permitted until Mr. and Mrs. Krehely of Center Street started complaining about one of their neighbors who has 2-hens. The good news is that the town seems receptive of changing the ordinance to officially permit chickens or at least consider it a possibility, so tonight at 8:00 PM the Planning Board is taking public comments and then later recommend a proposal.
All local chicken lovers, please attend the meeting and speak in support of chicks!
Here is a recent news story with some of the background:
