If chickens aren't allowed, dogs shouldn't be either. Dogs are louder, have stinkier feces, their feces can not be used as fertilizer, and they don't eat bugs.

We are concerned about our food supply. We are a family of 5 with a large backyard so we have 6 hens. During the Spring and Summer they lay enough eggs for us to share with family.

I am fully behind this endeavor! A chicken is NOT a filthy animal if you simply take the time to care for it PROPERLY.

Before back yard chickens were introduced we did not have very much in the form of organic fertilizer, no added protein from eggs and fresh, healthy raised meat for our families. This has benefitted our connunity in ways that abound the affore mentioned improvements. A sense of community surrounded us as we all helped each other out with our chickens. They are gentle loving creatures who do not make messes of any sort if properly taken care of.
