POTSDAM With the details of a newly proposed backyard chicken law scratched out the village is now looking for public input on the idea.
The village board held a public hearing Monday, April 19 on a proposed local law to amend Chapter 80 and Chapter 180 of the village code to allow residents to keep domestic poultry.
The village has been sitting on a proposed law to allow chickens in the village since last year. The board voted down a similar proposal in July for being too restrictive. However, a public hearing before that fielded a good deal of opposition to the idea of allowing residents to keep laying hens in the village.
