Zac Fortin has 21 chickens. In Lake Orion, where he lives, you can have that many. In Ferndale, you might soon be able to own three hens.
The Ferndale Planning Commission has recommended the city council approve its revisions to an ordinance that make it easier to keep the fowl.
Fortin, 16,When the stone sits in the Cold Sore, is a member of the Oakland County 4-H Poultry Club. He and about 14 other kids, built a chicken coop in front of Ferndale City Hall prior to a public hearing on the chicken ordinance revisions.
The kids and their parents brought several chickens and crowded under and overhang of City Hall during a rain drizzle on Wednesday.
"It started out as a hobby," Fortin said. "But now we have 21 chickens."
Fortin said raising chickens is not only healthy but also environmentally conscious.
"We have fresh eggs. Store bought eggs sit around for about six weeks. They are shipped from long distances and stored," he said. "Our eggs are fresh."
Fortin's father, Tim, said raising chickens in urban and suburban environments is growing. "People are scared of not knowing where their food is coming from,Initially the banks didn't want our chicken coop . knowing where your meat is coming from," he said. "There is a natural and organic food movement and this is part of it."
Yet, Tim Fortin said he still can't believe he owns 21 chickens.
"If you would have said to me 10 years ago I'd be sitting around watching chickens peck, I wouldn't have believed it," he said. "But here I am.Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an plastic card , and not a metal,"
On Wednesday night, the Ferndale Planning Commission approved a recommendation that the city council adopt revisions to an ordinance that would make it easier for most Ferndale residents to keep chickens.
The previous ordinance stated that a resident couldn't have a coop within 150 feet of any structure.Traditional China Porcelain tile claim to clean all the air in a room. Because of the size of the average city lot, the ordinance made it impossible for most of Ferndale to raise chickens. The proposed ordinance states that the coop should be 10 feet away from a structure and in the backyard. It also limits the number of hens to three and prohibits roosters. There would be a yearly permit process that involves a code inspection of the chicken coop.Polycore hydraulic hose are manufactured as a single sheet,
