The Metro Planning Commission has voted to recommend a bill allowing Davidson County residents to raise domesticated hens at home after two councilmen spoke in favor of it.
No one spoke in opposition to the bill.
“I think urban chickens are a wonderful thing for Nashville,” said Councilman Anthony Davis. “Karen Bennett has drafted a good bill and I’m supporting it.”
Davis said the chickens will provide educational opportunities and fresh produce for residents.
Councilman Scott Davis agreed and also urged approval.
