Does anyone live in Shaler Twp or in an adjacent township like Ross or Hampton, not a borough of the city? I've gotten nervous about the recent Pittsburgh ordinance to only allow 2 hens per property, fees for housing structures, etc. My husband thinks the ordinance will have a ripple effect to some of the adjacent townships, if only one person complains to the local city council.
I want to find some local people to share thoughts on this with, because I've spent a year carefully building up the flock I want. It's definitely a little larger than the average suburban flock, but we're on 2 wooded acres, fairly well separated from the neighbors.
Anyone out there doing the same thing nearby? Any chickens, ducks, quail?

I wish I could help you on how to fight it. I guess now that someone complained, there really isn't much you can do, except maybe get a petition together of chicken owners and neighbors and go to them with it. Good Luck!!
