Chicken project #890119

Asked November 21, 2024, 7:10 AM EST

My son is 10 and we just enrolled him into the 4H club and was hoping to show his chickens at the Oakland county fair this summer. Unfortunately our township where we live (Clarkston/independence ) doesn’t allow chickens under one acre, we only have .7 acres. We were told we have to rehome our chickens but there’s no rules stating you cannot home 4H poultry for educational youth projects. The zoning officer would like me to send him info of the 4H and he will submit it to the township board. Is there a name or contact I can give him to help support our case as we are trying to keep the chickens as 4H projects. Thank you for any help you can provide.
