Chicken Rules Change In Wake ForestBy Kerry Hall, NBC17 Wake Forest commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday to amend the town's ordinance regarding raising hens in town limits.
Under the new ordinance, families are allowed to raise up to ten hens anywhere in town. Previously, chickens were considered under the town's livestock ordinance-- which requires people who want to raise certain animals to obtain a permit from the town and get permission from every neighbor within 500 feet of their residence. Wake Forest resident Emily Cole was frustrated when she was unable to obtain a permit to raise hens. She started a petition with signatures of people in support of changing the town's ordinance and presented the idea to commissioners. Cole said that raising 'urban chickens' is part of a go-green healthy lifestyle, and a good way for her children to learn more about their food sources. "I'm really excited," Cole said, after the new ordinance passed. "I'm glad to have been able to help change something for our town to move forward and be more sustainable in the future."

Great to hear. I think everyone should be able to raise chickens in their back yard. |
