Allow backyard chickens in Westfield Ma

As a home owner in Westfield this matter concerns me because we should be able to source our own food whenever possible. I have four children and it's important to me that they understand where their food comes from, and the humane difference in how our chickens are raised, honestly they are quite spoiled. They all have names, personalities, and are loved much like the family pet dog. Having chickens gives my children a sense of responsibility and they take great pride in their profit of eggs in which they share with teachers and neighbors at every opportunity. Chickens are also wonderful composting creatures that turn our kitchen scraps into fantastic fertilizer for our garden beds and eliminate the need for petrochemical fertilizers. They are such a beneficial animal to have and I hope to get your vote for the city of Westfield to look into changing the laws to own backyard chickens. We've been personally affected by the current laws and may have to re-home our small flock so we need your vote to help our family in this cause.
