My town just passed an ordinance in June allowing chickens, with some restrictions, like a minimum lot size and maximum number of chickens. I signed a petition to allow it, although my lot is too small for us to have them. I figure they can't be any more bothersome than dogs.
It's my understanding that many municipalities banned chickens because, as people moved to the suburbs, they wanted a new lifestyle and didn't want to live as if they were on a farm.
I am your neighbor, Garlic....in PA. Our town just passed the same ordinance, but it said in the paper that there were 5 parties interested in having chickens, so I don't expect a lot of people around here to do it. The coops have to be off the ground and meet certain specifications. They are not allowed to keep a rooster....no crowing allowed! LOL Any slaughtering must be done indoors. I thing they are limited to 7 chickens. I live in a neighborhood of mostly elderly people. I love eggs and would like to have fresh ones daily, but I will not be raising chickens.
I tried Egg Beaters and Better N Eggs and then I tried WalMart store brand. I found those to taste the most like eggs and the price was lower. But since they didn't stop my husband from hounding me about eating too many eggs, I went back to eating the whole eggs that I like.
