I am asking for signatures to try and change the village ordinances 664 an update of ordinance 94.46 that was updated June 1983 for Camden Ohio that states we can not own hens on our residences inside the village limits.

I proposed to the village council to allow the community to own a small number of hens like 6-12, NO ROOSTERS at our residence. If we agree to keep the area clean, well taken care of and not allow them to run loose outside of our properties, but kept inside proper pinned in areas/coops. As of 2/16/23 and I am awaiting an answer.

There are more and more cities, towns, and villages that are allowing hens to be kept at private residences for pets or personal usages. In fact there was in recent years House bill that was requesting to change Ohio laws to allow small livestock, but it ended up stalling. https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/132/h...

If you would like to allow our residence the ability to own chicken hens please sign!!!!!
