Winfield residents make case to keep pet chickens
WINFIELD â A Winfield family isn't looking to ruffle any feathers with their small flock of chickens. Derek and Rita Van Tichelt purchased chicks about a year and a half ago, and they are hoping the town will let them keep the 15 chickens, which have names and they consider to be pets. "When COVID struck, we were working from home, and it was actually a project that we thought would be fun to do as a family," Derek Van Tichelt told The Times. Van Tichelt appeared before the Winfield Town Council Tuesday with a petition signed by about 50 neighbors to save their chickens.
