backyard chickens

[tanya scott]

I have a concern that I am hoping the Carteret Local Food Network would like to be involved in.  Current laws state that livestock is prohibited within the city limits of Morehead City.  Livestock is not specified as chickens, but residents are being prohibited from keeping backyard hens in the city limits.  I would like for this law to be changed in order to allow residents to keep a limited number of hens within the city limits, and perhaps not just the city limits of Morehead City.  I am currently researching other cities who have had laws restricting backyard hens changed and am considering a petition to achieve this.  As you know, many voices are louder than one and I would like to propose that the CLFN consider being a part of this movement.  Any advice, ideas, or involvement would be greatly appreciated!

I look forward to hearing from you.
