Ex-Marine battles Pa. town to keep her emotional support chickens

In a zoning flap over her fine feathered friends in Kingston Township, Luzerne County, Lauren Holton has armed herself with a therapist’s letter saying she’s approved to have emotional support animals, including her four chickens: Licorice, Butterscotch, Truffle, and Caramel, FOX56 reports, adding:

The ex-Marine also has marshaled an online petition to try make a town ordinance banning chickens in the Shavertown area go the way of the Dodo bird. At last report, more than 1,300 people had attached their chicken scratch to the fowl-favorable document.

But this isn’t the only Pa. town where feathers have flown over people wanting to keep chickens as pets. Here’s another place were fowl ran afoul of ordinances, only to have a family’s 18 chickens come out as champions.
