Exaclty! and its what the laws are based on ignorance. THey think these animals are smelly and dirty and belong on a farm far away.

When I moved here the owner before me left his chickens and a few other neighbors had some as well. Four years later the nasty neighbor next door complained to the city and I was told to get rid of them.

We got an extention until Spring to do so but we love them and are trying to find a little farm where we can move to with them.
A very tough feat in the middle of winter, we still haven't found a place but are looking like crazy.

Find out first what the laws are cause it could cause a lot of unhappiness if it happens to you. Oh whatever you do...do not get straight run as the roosters will be crowing by the time you'll want to butcher and that could drive your neighbors to complain.
