Chickens!

[theodosia.livejournal.com]

I was walking down the bikepath just on the east side of Willow Ave and noticed the first house along the right side has chicken coops and actual chickens living there!!??!! This may not be new news to people who pass by regularly, but it's been a while since I walked that way, so it was very cool to see them.

Does anybody know whether this is a legal chicken situation, and if so, how the owners got around city laws? I still miss the semi-feral rooster who lived down the street from me a few years ago, and I'd like to see a few more well-cared-for birds around. (Note this means not too loud, not creating smells or hazardous waste, et cetera.)

FYI - There is a chicken coup abutting the fence of the Kennedy elementary school playground, I take our daughter there to see the chickens. You enter the playground from Elm Street, and on the right up a little hill there is a chain link fence with chickens on the other side. They are owned by the abutter to the school, not the school.

Oh! I'll check that out -- I rather like birds, and watching them!
