I wish to have the town of Willards to allow their citizens to house their own flock of poultry. Willards was built up over a hundred years ago and has always been around agriculture. Forbidding chickens to be kept in the borders of the town is almost like forbidding a piece of the towns heritage. I have my own flock of 5 chickens that I keep for eggs, entertainment, as pets, and for show and now I'm being forced to get rid of them within 30 days and if I don't I could be fined up to a 1000 dollars. I believe that there should not be a law stating that the citizens of Willards cannot keep their own poultry. If you wish to help please fill out the information below to show your support in personal small backyard flocks of poultry.

Salisbury's ordinance to allow backyard chickens (up to five birds with no roosters) was enacted a year ago and so far, no complaints. None.
ReplyDeleteI know several people who have a few chickens there, and have for years. My guess it that you have a busy body neighbor. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteSo far, Salisbury doesn't have any of the problems that backyard chicken opponents pushed in everyone's faces.
ReplyDeleteI would much rather see and hear a flock of chickens next door than hear the nasty audio coming from a culture of vehicle drivers. A flock of chickens would look better on the ground than the trash thrown on my lawn from KFC.
ReplyDeleteChickens run wild all over Key West and there are no problems other than the crowing at 5 am when you just got to bed at 3 am.
ReplyDeleteAs long as they are fenced in, and there are no roosters to crow each morning, neighbors won't even know the chickens are there. A family member lives in a town where they are surrounded by chickens! And no complaints!
ReplyDeleteWe have a criminal for president, the country is bankrupt, we are being flooded with illegals, states, counties, and towns are broke and all the elected officials have to do is worry about a few chickens. It's really pathetic, how much more are people going to take before they say enough is enough?
ReplyDeleteNo roosters no complaints.
ReplyDeleteWe have chickens in Our neighbour hood and the smell when it rains is terrible.the water runs in others yards. It should be that they have to be so far away from property line. Its been much better now you can't have roosters. The county should check all septic systems in the beaver run area. Don't go there with it started as farmland. Its residental now.I'm for no chickens there always those nasty

Willards citizens, you MUST fight this. There may come a day when you MUST have eggs from your chickens just to survive. GET IT?
ReplyDelete8:29 AM - What you have is a place where the chickens aren't managed properly, with litter being raked up and disposed of when it becomes dirty. A clean, small flock of ladies with responsible maintenance doesn't smell, even after a rain. It's all about the owners, not the birds.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Joe should have a survey on SBYNews.
ReplyDeleteIt is the very citizens of Willards that don't want the chickens in town. You lose. Move out in the county (like farmers) if you want to raise and keep chickens.
ReplyDelete10:05 Hysterical, and Willards ISN'T the country? Really? Big City for you? You need to get out more.
ReplyDelete10:35 We are getting a royal farms so we are a real town. Now their!
ReplyDelete10:35: Hysterical, yeah, its a TOWN law that prohibits poultry, not the county. Duh, can't YOU tell the difference?
