We are approaching the 500 signature threshold required to demand a formal review by the City Council. I have drafted the official request for a policy amendment and will submit it once we hit this milestone. Please send the link to residents who will confirm their status to ensure we have the necessary documentation prepared.

We are approaching the one hundred signature mark which serves as the threshold required to request a formal meeting with the city council representative. A concentrated effort to reach this goal today will allow me to submit our proposal for the upcoming legislative review session.

As a family of 6 that struggles to pay bills and keep food on the table, it would be nice to be allowed to have egg laying hens in our yard. We have more than adequate space in our yard and the 3 acre law is rediculous
I like the idea, in my opinion it would be nice to have a maximum of 12 hens, as long as you have the space, and are able to care for them correctly
It's ridiculous that we can't keep chickens. A few chickens don't need 3 acres. Plus people that complain about the noise are ridiculous. I have so many neighbors that leave their dogs out barking and barking for hours on end and even though that's "illegal" nothing happens if you complain about it and people just get mad at you. Ridiculous.
good luck with this ,I am in the process of rehoming my 4 chickens because a neighbor decided that I should not have pet chickens.so sad this person does not understand or enjoy life's simple pleasures .
I am for having chickens. No roosters is fine with me as I cannot stand myself the noise of arrogant neighbors dogs. Most funny observation about dog owners is they get offended when tou ask them not to let their dog relieve itself on my lawn regardless if they pick it up or not. My kids play on my grass. How would they like it if I relieved myself on their property...lol
Amend the egg law now. Hope you Remember Racist Joe Biden’s famous quote "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you Ain't Black," translation, If You Don’t Vote for Me, ‘You Ain’t Black’, that said, All Black Americans should wake up and challenge the ill-educated anti-American BLM to explain HOW looting and rioting, arson attacks on private businesses , rampant violence and lawlessness protesting, stomping and burning the U.S.A. flag, vandalizing and toppling Civil War statues and monuments, there by Erasing the History of the Pro-slavery, Spread Hating, and currently the True Racist Democratic Party which was Proudly Known Historically as The Slaveholding Confederate States of America, stop blacks from murdering each other in record numbers every weekend in Democrat-run cities and states ONLY? Why does BLM believe black lives ONLY matter when they are harmed or killed by a white person, especially a white cop and not by black hoodlum? (Think) Where are the multitude of protesters, mourners, and televised funeral services from BLM for the deaths of Black men, women, children, and cops killed by black thugs across America's major cities? The truth is BLM does not care about blacks as more Black Americans are killed by blacks then by cops. Well, the fact is, All Lives Matter (ALM). It is Sad, Insulting, and Degrading that Black Americans Today after all this Years have Forgotten (Think) who the Real Racists have Been and Continue to be, namely, the Democrats.
Go leyra!

I am for owning BYC in Philadelphia. I want to be able to provide a healthier lean eating source for my family.
