In our area, it is illegal to cull chickens,
I guess it never crossed my mind that a place would allow chickens but not allow for the inevitable culling that would go with chicken keeping. I can understand not wanting backyard processing operations but I figured FDA and USDA regulations had that part covered. To me it seems a bit of an overreach to keep someone from eating their own livestock without having to break the law or pay extra for processing.Where I live, it's also illegal to kill your own chickens. I live in town and it makes sense. They don't want people running chicken processing operations in their backyards. I understand that.
I don't blame you a bit. Good fences make good neighbors.Well to be honest, while I understand the reasons for it, the two roosters from my hatch that we ate were processed in our backyard. What the neighbors couldn't see didn't hurt them....
Good for you!When I fought my city and they relented and wrote a chicken ordinance it allows for processing as long as it isn't viewable from off the property.
Hence the derailing comment...The OP mentioned they don't want to cull them previously so laws regarding whether they can or not really have no relevance here.
