April 22, 2013
I am gathering materials for our next town council meeting to prove that backyard chickens improve local pest control. Call your council representative this afternoon and tell them that sustainability starts in our own backyards. Post a photo of your garden on Facebook and tag the township page to keep the pressure on.

The momentum behind this petition is undeniable and shows that our community is ready for this change. Now is the time to turn that energy into action by emailing your feedback directly to the township council members this afternoon. Tell them you want responsible backyard chicken keeping in Hopatcong.

I think chickens might be allowed, but we all should understand what "properly maintained" means.
I grew up raising chickens and would love the chance to care for a small amount of birds again at the age of 55.
In the 70 's I was told 2chickens were allowed. They are a help because they eat insects such as ticks, Beatles, and other harmful insects. I know because of a family farm. Very healthy as the insects are high in protein and the eggs have a bright orange color as a result. City residents come to Hopatcong and try to change the area into the city.
We should have chickens because they are helpful for some people. Some people don't have money to go shopping every week and if we where aloud to have chickens we would eat the eggs then take the shells for compost and when they stop laying family can sloter the chickens and have food for two or so weeks
Being allowed to raise my own chickens wily give me the opportunity to provide a fresh, clean and nutritional food source for my entire family. Please allow for this basic American right.
Yes l would like to be able to own chickens
We really want to own chickens and want the rules changed.
