How many chickens are too many? 🐔

A proposed animal ordinance in the City of Laurens would limit residents to six backyard hens, prohibit roosters and add new rules for chicken owners.

Laurens resident Mara Weldon says some of the proposed restrictions go too far, while Mayor Nathan Senn says the city is working to address concerns as Laurens continues to grow while allowing responsible chicken owners to continue maintaining their flocks.

The ordinance is not final. The city will hold a community workshop September 1st, giving residents a chance to voice their concerns and ask questions before any final decisions are made.

Hear what both sides have to say.
