Meeting Preview: Muskego Committee of the Whole Talks Chickens
Other communities have made allowances for residents to keep poultry; why not Muskego?

The Committee of the Whole will meet Tuesday night at 6:30 pm, and along with a review of the City logo, will discuss whether they should craft an ordinance to allow chickens to be kept in the city's higher-density areas.
Recently, Milwaukee adopted such an ordinance, and Muskego has allowed the keeping of animals on properties larger than 10 acres (1983) and more recently has designated an agricultural district as a minimum of 2.75 acres for specific types of animals (Chapter 17, section 8.36 if you're keeping score at home).
The issue came to the attention of the city at the request of a resident in Alderman Noah Fiedler's seventh district.
