• Collingswood Lifts 15-Year Ban on Backyard Chickens With New Regulations (wjrz.com) — Haddonfield residents already living in a hen-friendly town may be interested to know that nearby Collingswood has just ended its 15-year ban on backyard chickens, allowing up to 12 hens under strict licensing rules. The new ordinance limits total licenses, requires a chicken-care class and inspections, bans roosters and egg sales, and sets penalties for violations, reflecting a broader Camden County trend that includes Haddonfield.
