Hi,
I am interested in owning a small number of hens for egg production but live outside Woodstock city limits on land that is not zoned AG. Under current McHenry county zoning ordinance, chickens are classified as livestock and are only allowed on AG land. I'm not exactly sure how to go about getting the ordinance changed, but I would be interested in meeting other like-minded people and hopndefully strategizing together. Many urban communities do allow chickens, including Oak Park, Chicago, Madison, and New York City! Anyone at Extension interested in this issue a can you put me in contact with others who would be? Thanks much, Anna Evans
