We believe in the fundamental right of individuals and families to responsibly raise chickens for personal use—whether as beloved pets, a source of fresh eggs, or sustainable meat. In an era where food security, environmental sustainability, and personal autonomy are more important than ever, backyard chickens offer a practical and meaningful way for people to connect with their food, teach their children about responsibility and nature, and participate in a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

Local ordinances should support—not restrict—residents who wish to keep small flocks in humane, clean, and well-managed conditions. We advocate for common-sense regulations that balance neighborhood concerns with the rights of individuals to make informed choices about how they feed and care for their families.

Protecting the right to keep chickens is about more than food—it’s about freedom, sustainability, and community resilience.
