EDITOR: Unless city officials can provide my family with a daily protein source they can ensure was not cruelly raised and is also completely natural, they can’t deny us our chickens. Perhaps the hundreds of Aurora residents wanting chickens should take our property tax dollars to another city that is not aware of the current state of the food industry.

EDITOR: I’m in Seven Hills and I want chickens. As a stay at home mom, with a degree in animal sciences, who homeschools and gardens, I am shocked that anyone would have a concern for my ability to care for chickens. Please change this law, Aurora.

EDITOR: I have 13 hens and two roosters. My coup is within 15 feet of my house. Right outside my bedroom window as a matter of fact. Now, The roosters do wake us up in the morning (good on most mornings) but the hens are very quiet from that distance. In addition, if cared for they do not stink. Mine don’t. In order to have healthy eggs, one needs healthy hens. To have healthy hens one has to have a clean and healthy environment for them to live in. If someone’s hens or coop stinks, they’re living next to uncared for animals and should call animal control, just as you would report a neglected dog. Don’t let your opinion of urban chickens be tarnished by one bad chicken owner. Ask around, visit some nice coups and then form an opinion.
