Adam Barker, who lives in Lansing, keeps a chicken coop on a friend’s property because the village does not allow chicken coops on residential properties. But Barker has been working to change that.

Adam Barker, of Lansing, has been fighting for the village to approve backyard chicken coops for the last year, but says officials argue Lansing is a suburban town not a rural community.

“There’s at least four or five reasons that we’re suggesting are great reasons to allow chickens,” Barker said. “We’re pretty convinced that there are basically no good reasons not to. It seems like a clear cut case that has been made, but that’s not the feedback we received.” Barker said last year he gave board members a petition signed by 170 people, the majority from Lansing, who supported chicken coops on residential property.

While that is true, he said backyard chicken coops would allow people to be sustainable by having fresh eggs and feeding chickens food scraps.Barker said he’s not requesting roosters, which can be loud, only hens or female chickens. Hens don’t make noise louder than human conversation or the bark of a dog, he said.
