Relaxing the 150ft distance requirements would allow so many Huntsville residents to become more self sustaining. Huntsville is making strides to become a greener city, to become a progressive city. However, I believe that there may be some lack of research on the part of some of the council members and that personal beliefs may by standing in the way of sustainable living.
Chickens pose less of a health threat than do dogs and cats. Chickens also pose less of a threat to noise pollution than a barking dog.
My hope is the Mayor and Council will reconsider the distance requirement and truly help Huntsville progress into the community that is actually taking steps to lessen her footprint. Take action to move forward and relax the distance requirements.

The ability to own a few hens. Would allow me to provide organic food for my family. Chickens are the best way for a home organic gardeners to turn garden waste into fretilizer and control insect populations. When you add eggs you have the perfect gardenpet. This will allow us to be self-reliant, reduse our carbon footprint and save money. I would rather buy Chickens than Cemical fertilizers.
Help us save Money!
Thanks for your time.

If a city as large as Los Angeles CA can relax chicken laws, then a supposedly family friendly city like Huntsville should be able to do the same.

Good Luck and I am completely in agreement that having a few hens as pets are more of a benefit to our freedom of choice and ownership of our lives.

Two hens should not be a problem. I would love to be able to be a little more self-sufficient by having a couple hens.

In 2 weeks I will be occupying the house next to my son's on Montdale Rd. Even if we put hens on our mutual property line we do not reach the footage the council is demanding. The hens eat bugs, help propagate fresh garden vegetables, and fertilize the soil. The pet hens can wander in the garden adding to the view and helping to make time pass by eating insects and vermin. I am a senion citizen, and have retired on social security and veteran's dependents benefits. Both checks are very small and would benefit from increased incomee. Thank you for considering our petition,.

I hope home owners can have 3 hens in their backyard. It would be good for the chickens, the owners and their children. A dog would be noisier than hens. Thank you.
