Support for allowing backyard chickens in Glencoe was strong and clear at the Glencoe Chickens meeting last night at the library. 13 adults came together to talk with two presenters, Kevin Harvey of Glencoe and Jennifer Murtoff, the Urban Chicken Consultant, about how chickens fit into a sustainable lifestyle and should be allowed in Glencoe. Four children and two members of the media (Glencoe News and Trib Local) were also present. Everyone at the meeting thought that chickens should be allowed and at least three expressed interest in raising chickens themselves. Even a junior at New Trier in the Integrated Global Studies School (IGSS) program came in support of the issue. She is working on a school project about the food industry and "food inc."
We streamed the event live last night and here is the archived recording of the meeting.
