I want the the City of Sidney Nebraska to remove poultry from city code 618.04, and allow households to raise hens for meat and eggs.

The bureaucrats at City Hall are still hiding behind code 618.04 while we struggle to put food on our tables. We keep pushing and they keep ignoring us but I am not going anywhere until they give us our rights.

The momentum behind this push proves the City of Sidney cannot ignore us any longer. We have officially forced them to look at the outdated poultry bans and they know we are not backing down until the code is changed.

Our government in the past would say it was your civic duty to raise chickens in your backyard so you would be more self sufficient. There were posters and everything.
I want to be allowed chickens within city limits. I moved from a much larger city that allowed chickens in my backyard and I was shocked to find out it is against a city ordinance in Sidney. We live in America, we should be allowed chickens.
Yes, please!
Yes!
Great idea!
Chickens!!
Please! The chickens!

Chickens are beneficial in many ways and are hardly to be considered a nuisance. Having backyard chickens provides eggs and or meat for families and are educational, teaching aspects of livestock care in a small scale and responsibility. Plus, as much as I love dogs, I'd much rather hear chickens clucking nearby than what sounds like an unruly kennel. Try to review other cities' policies regarding poultry keeping in cities where it is allowed and see what if any callouts they list and make the very reasonable determination that it should be allowed. Thank you for your time.
