Chickens supply fresh eggs that are more nutritious than the store bought ones, keeping a small flock is better for the animals' welfare than huge commercial operations; their care fosters empathy and resilience in children (a well known benefit of keeping pets), they control ticks and other pests on the property without chemicals (save the bees), and they supply a source of rich fertilizer to help grow healthy landscapes and vegetable gardens which will not leach excess nitrogen into our sensitive waterways. They are easy to care for and do not require a lot of space. Hens are generally quiet and peaceful. They don't bark or bite or get loose and crap on peoples lawns like dogs can.

I would love the opportunity to raise my own chickens for the purpose of laying eggs to offset the high commercial cost.

There’s no reason we can have at least a few. I just want some eggs for myself and have the room for them.

Why can’t you own chickens? I mean isn’t this a free country. They just don’t want us to be independent of government

Not being able to keep hens for eggs is a violation of our rights!

I would love to have a backyard flock. Not only for fresh eggs for my family and neighbors, but to have my children learn about chickens, egg laying, and caring for chickens.

Consider legalizing having hens in Warwick, RI. Individuals who consider raising hens for themselves and to show kids important caring values, and healthy lifestyle are people who will take the steps to care for them in every aspect. Just like dogs and cats.

We just moved back to RI and would love to have our chickens again, the way how we did it in Massachusetts. We need to promote a healthy lifestyle in RI. Dogs and cats are ok, and fresh eggs from chickens are not ok?

I think this state needs to wake up. I live on 1 acre of land in Warwick and I have a tick problem. Owning chickens would not only teach my child responsibilities on raising her own food and being independent to a certain degree. It would also assist in getting rid of these Lyme carrying parasites.
