We, citizens of Arlington, MA, support amending the existing zoning ordinance to allow up to 6 hens (no roosters) for egg-laying, pet, or other purposes. This petition will go to the Arlington town meeting in May, to urge town meeting members to support having hens in Arlington, MA. Name and comments are the only fields that are displayed on the website, unless you check Anonymous, which hides your name on the website. DONATION NOT REQUIRED.

Self sufficiency is good. Chickens are quiet and low maintenance.

It is about time arlington catches up with other towns. Been waiting for this for years.

My kids would learn so much from taking care of them. Plus chickens are actually really funny pets.

Ridiculous that people can have dogs but not a couple chickens. Let us have some hens already!!

6 hens is a reasonable limit. Keep those noisy roosters out and it should be fine for the neighbors.

Fresh eggs are honestly so much better than store bought ones. Would love to have a few hens in my backyard.
