I support changing the city ordinance to allow residents of Wentzille, MO to own up to 6 hens with no roosters.
Why is this important?
Many cities across the country and our own state have changed local laws and ordinances to allow for the raising of a small flock of hens. It is time for Wentzville, MO to join this movement. With proper education and a little research it is very easy to raise chickens in an urban setting without fear of noise, smell or disease. At the same time you can provide your family with a very healthy choice in home grown eggs. This will relieve the pressure on factory farming, while giving residents the right to provide a much more humane, and safe environment for backyard chickens.Out of the 90 municipalities in St. Louis County alone 81 of them allow backyard chickens. Let's join cities like Lake St. Louis, Chesterfeild, Kirkwood, Ballwin and many more to put food production into the hands of city resident
