Trustees discuss raising backyard chicken limit from 6 to 10
Summary
Finance Chairman Jeff Goings introduced a discussion about increasing the village's allowable backyard chickens from six to ten. Trustees discussed the item but took no action; the matter will require ordinance change to adopt.
On April 22, 2026 the board discussed a proposal to increase the allowable number of backyard chickens in Poplar Grove from six to ten. Finance Chairman Jeff Goings moved the item for discussion and Trustee David Allgood seconded; the minutes record the item as discussion-only with no motion to change the code or to set a public hearing.
Because the item was discussion-only, no ordinance language, effective dates, or implementation details appear in the minutes. Any change to the numerical limit would require the board to initiate an ordinance amendment at a subsequent meeting and to publish any required notices under state law.
