    Help!! I was told rid of my hens!

    Great news...I think. Code enforcement just came out. I was a little nervous at first. I showed him the coop and the 2 hens.

    On page 111 of this document http://www.ci.chico.ca.us/document_library/municode/Title19.pdf it shows that my zone R1 requires a use permit for animal keeping, in which fowl are included. It is unfortunate and hopefully the city council will come to their senses soon. Thanks.

    Nesting box questions
