Yes to chickens

We are interested in getting chickens.  As of right now, owning chickens is illegal, and we are trying to get the village to make owning chickens legal.  The more support we have behind us, the greater the possiblity we have to change their minds.  We would like to hear what other who own chickens or don't own chickens, have to say on the matter please comment. The more people we get to say that chickens should be allowed, the better chance we have of making it happen.  Thanks
