Amend Flatwoods City Ordinance to Allow Backyard Chickens with Regulations

For this purpose, I propose an amendment to the current city ordinance which currently forbids keeping backyard chickens. I believe that with clear, specific regulations in place, we can maintain a balance between the concerns of the urban environment and the benefits of small-scale home poultry farming. In addition to providing a regular source of fresh, ethically sourced eggs, this practice also allows households to reduce food waste by feeding appropriate leftovers to chickens.

Your support in making this amendment a reality can pave the way for a greener, self-sufficient, and a more sustainable Flatwoods. I plan to present this proposal at the forthcoming city-county meeting. We need your support to make this vision a reality. Please, sign this petition to allow the raising of backyard chickens under specific regulations in Flatwoods, Kentucky. Together, we can reclaim our food security and make our city a frontrunner in sustainable urban living.
