This is a petition to change the current bylaw in Three Hills that prohibits keeping chickens within town limits.
Benefits of Urban Chickens:
- Living Composters – Chickens eat food waste, preventing huge amounts of biomass from being sent to the landfill, and they provide great organic compost for the garden!
- Weed & Pest Control – Chickens eat all manner of harmful bugs like ticks (Lyme disease), fleas, mosquitos, grasshoppers, stink bugs, slugs, and even mice, baby rats, and small snakes. They also eat weed seeds, making chemical pesticides unnecessary and preventing them from entering the water and food supply.
- Educational – having chickens in town makes it easy for school classes to take walking field trips to see real chickens and learn about them, studying them as they are raised in a their natural habitat.
- Fresh eggs for their owners.
Let's bring chickens back!

I have been reviewing the feedback from residents and it is clear that many of you value the sustainable potential of backyard chickens in our community. These discussions are helping me refine the proposal I plan to present to the town council. Your willingness to engage with this topic shows that there is a genuine desire for practical changes in our local bylaws.

Seeing this grow suggests that many residents share a vision for a more sustainable and self-reliant town. This momentum indicates that the conversation around our bylaws has truly begun to shift.

My backyard would be perfect for a few hens. The eggs at the store are way to expensive anyway.
good for the enviroment and good for breakfast. its a win win.
Stop telling us what we can do on our own property. If they are kept clean its fine.
This ridiculous bylaw needs to go. Its just chickens not tigers people need to relax.
YES PLEASE. My kids would love to learn about where their food comes from instead of just getting it from a cart.

I been wanting fresh eggs for years. Gardening is way better with compost from chickens.
