Could Backyard Chickens Be Coming To Lee County?

Backyard chickens are not allowed in Lee County at this time but Heather Scutakes of Backyard Chickens in Lee County hopes to change that.

Fort Myers and Bonita Springs already allows them with limits. 4 chickens, hens only, no roosters, must be in a coop etc. 

We had a great talk about the benefits of chickens and Heather also dispels common myths about chickens.

We also discussed the next steps Lee County has to take to make chickens legal.

First step is to sign this petition. http://chng.it/Q77x9Q9F

2nd step is to join the Facebook Group: : https://www.facebook.com/groups/818682654943131/

3rd step is to email or call your commissioner. Here are the commissioners e-mails.

Lastly, make sure you attend the in person Lee County meeting if the agenda of chickens comes up.

If you can’t tell, I fully support Lee County allowing residents to have chickens.

Thanks and have a great day!
