Chickens in the backyard? And all this is because one person asked the mayor and city council to make an exception. What about the rest of us? Don't we have any say about it?
Have any of you ever lived next door to a backyard full of chickens? I have, and I never want to do it again. The stench is horrible, the noise is unbelievable and they draw flies by the hundreds.
We live in a city, not on the farm.
