It’s illegal on my town to have chickens on anything less than 5 acres. I have an acre that backs up to woods far enough away that a couple hens would be no problem, but nope. One of my neighbors has 4.6 acres and used to have chickens but had to get rid of them when they changed the law. Its extra sad that my house is an original 1900s farm house with the original barn that used to have donkeys, chickens, goats and a few cows sitting on 20 acres, now I’ll get fined to oblivion if I so much as get 1 quail.

They didn’t grand father him? That’s some bureaucratic bs.
And then I see factory egg farms and they put 10,000 chickens in 5 acres.
