In the past decades, most cities have outlawed keeping livestock. Right now there's a trend underway to overturn those laws so that urban folks can have a few hens (most places keep roosters illegal because of the noise), a beehive, or even small-breed goats. In my city, there's a small but very vocal group trying to get bees and hens legalized. Here are a couple articles: http://hamptonroads.com/2011/03/norfolk-woman-pecks-away-ban... http://www.altdaily.com/blogs/food-blogs/dish-blogs/the-beeā... [For the record, I'm not Ms. Bird, despite our shared initials.] What are the laws in your city? If you don't know and want to, a couple of good resources: http://www.backyardchickens.com/laws/search.php http://www.municode.com/library/Library.aspx (local law database: it's rather dense, but is the most authoritative source short of a trip to city hall) |
