I'm worried, I read these posts by people who have been busted for keeping chickens. I'm really attached to my 4 hens, they are so much fun. I looked under the City Municple Code and found only one mention in the code:
6.08.010 Keeping prohibitedException.
It is unlawful for any person to keep or have under their care, custody or control, either as owner or otherwise, any chickens, ducks, geese, or poultry or fowl of any kind whatsoever, within the city, unless same are kept securely enclosed in a yard or pen at all times.
My girls are secure in my backyard. I'm just worried that I've overlooked some obscure rule. I've looked at the zoning for my area/lot size and keeping poultry/livestock is not mentioned. The rules start for people who have lot sizes bigger than 1 acre.
Any advice?
