Our city council just approved owning chickens in town; I think 12 per
household. No roosters...too much noise that can bother neighbors.
Hispanic people here in NM have raised a few chickens in their yards for
hundreds of yrs.; recently they banded together to get approval to do it
again & they won.
That said, we have a lot of animal abuse here .... horses, dogs, cats, etc.
kept in truly awful inhumane conditions. Many people are concerned abt. how
the chickens may be raised (w/out water, shade..) and see it as abuse
waiting to happen. Pros & cons.
