Chicken Ordinance Review
Village Code Chapter 36 Article II: Keeping of Fowl
The Village of Warwick is currently reviewing Chapter 36, Article II of the Village Code, which addresses the keeping of chickens, roosters, turkeys, pigeons, and other types of fowl or birds, as well as rabbits, within Village limits. At present, the Code prohibits residents from raising or maintaining these animals, with the exception of household birds such as canaries, parakeets, and parrots.
To guide this review, the Village has created a committee made up of both elected officials and residents. Committee members bring a range of perspectives to the discussion, ensuring that all viewpoints are carefully considered.
This process is ongoing, and updates will be shared HERE as the committee’s work continues.
