[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1151204, member: 20580"] Yeah I can see both sides about the chickens in town debate and many of the suburbs here have some kind of an ordinance in place where if they allow them you can only have a certain number and have to have proper cages and methods to care for them. After just going through selling a home last year and knowing how picky some people can be over things that seem so small or insignificant I probably lean towards no chickens in town. Biggest drawback is what if you were trying to sell your house and your neighbor has chickens? That definitely can scare away potential buyers and decrease value and I don't care if the neighbor even takes good care of them (which is another issue for the ones who don't know how to properly care for chickens.) If you want to raise chickens then get a farm or a small acreage on the edge of town where your immediate neighbors don't have to see them. The best survey comment I saw was if the reason behind owning chickens in town was to be "green" by producing your own fresh eggs and possibly butcher chickens too then why can't someone raise a calf in their backyard for freezer beef? Great point I thought, it's the same concept and a lot of the same issues (nuisances with smell, noise, not staying within their confinements, etc.) [/QUOTE]
