Chickens are a part of their 4-H projects. They are beneficial to our family in so many ways. Many of our neighbors have chickens and none of our neighbors complain about our chickens. We keep them and their environment clean and safe.
We love our chickens!

I understand that there should be certain consideration as to locations of chicken coops, the size of flocks and control of odors. Chicken would supplement food supplies. They also are fun for kids to learn about animal behavior and 'where food comes from'. For older adults, as myself, keeping chickens would be relaxing and rewarding. As a 'girl raised in the country', I can say chickens are funny, entertaining little ladies. Their personalities are as different as that of humans. I hope you will reconsider your decision and allow the keeping of chickens in all of Escambia county.
