But now our town ordinances prohibit most everything besides dogs and cats. Our town is too small to have chickens inconspicuously... It's funny- my county is the number one chicken-producing county in the US. We have billions of 'em, but I can't have them in my own backyard!HomeSweet Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395756612775631575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268622326034701199.post-43640165502410280502009-05-04T10:54:00.000-05:002009-05-04T10:54:00.000-05:00My neighbor raised three chickens until recently w...My neighbor raised three chickens until recently when her lease was up and wasn't renewed by her landlord (so she had to leave the house). The neighbors all really enjoyed that she had the birds... there is something neat about walking outside to leave the house in the morning and hearing the rooster crow.Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595777864781354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268622326034701199.post-63943636550572141382009-05-04T10:45:00.000-05:002009-05-04T10:45:00.000-05:00I live at the corner of 18th and Harvard- and my n...I live at the corner of 18th and Harvard- and my neighbor has a HUGE bird pen in the back yard containing several chickens (along with other birds) Its never seemed to bother anyone around us....
