Tell the seller and their realtor that they lost the sale due to their towns chicken laws. It's one way to spread the word that these laws are hurting the townships.

Here's an article from 2012 about Bollingbrook: http://bolingbrook.patch.com/groups/politics-and-elections/p/should-backyard-chicken-coops-be-allowed-in-bolingbrook The village attorney said "there's been no request by anybody to raise a chicken in their backyard" in Bolingbrook. But it sounds...

Springfield allows chickens... The following is from the Chicago Tribune, May 11, 2014. Quote:

Check out this listing on Craigslist, 5 mi. north of 64. https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/mat/4178905036.html 5 acres total, a mix of B1 (business) and F (farm), I'm pretty sure residential is allowed on the F section. Their site with more info: www.buy25.webs.com

So, when can we welcome you to the neighborhood?

I'm in unincorporated Kane Co., St. Charles Township, less than 5 acres but zoned AG, so I have no problems. There is a member here,"6chickens in St. Charles", lives right in town, but she hasn't been online in over six months. You might want to stop by Trellis Farm & Garden on Kirk, they should...

Better ban cats and small dogs for the same reason. Or maybe just ban candy bars.

It won't hurt to talk to them individually. If anyone has the dedication, it shouldn't be too hard in the next election to replace one or two. In a community of 750, I'd guess 100 votes would be enough to get someone elected. (assuming the 750 includes children, plus lots of people who don't...

Defeated 4 to 2. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20120723/news/707239596/ Quote: Oh yes, they'd need to hire several more police officers to control those rampant marauding chicken gangs! (A-mazing!)

Welcome to BYC. There is a lot of info here on changing town ordinances, you might want to give it a shot.

That's lousy. There are five Government Models in Eruope: The English Model - All is permitted, except that which is forbidden. The German Model - All is forbidden, except that which is permitted. The Russian Model - All is forbidden, including that which is permitted. The French Model -...

I wonder if a higher court would ever uphold something like that. IANAL, but that seems contrary to the founding principles of our nation.

I tried looking though the Dupage county zoning code online, and all I could find were references to property over 5 acres that is zoned agricultural. In Kane county there is a classification for farmetttes in unincorporated areas, if I understand the code correctly I believe those are a minimum...
