The undersigned citizens of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, respectfully request that our city leaders change the Municipal Code to allow female chickens (hens) to be raised as pets in backyards, with reasonable restrictions. We feel that the raising of chickens provides both children and adults an education in local, sustainable food practices, provides food security, promotes green living, expands our local food supply and provides an opportunity to learn responsibility and compassion towards animals.
Note to Petitioners: Please provide a valid City of Oshkosh address where you currently reside.

The Oshkosh City Council can no longer ignore this movement. We have built undeniable momentum that proves the people want common sense backyard chicken laws.

My kids would love to learn about where eggs come from. Its a great lesson on responsibility and way better than them staring at screens all day.
Ridiculous that we cant even have a few hens in our own yards. Its not like they are cows. Lets get with the times Oshkosh.
