If you look at fees and enforcement, those numbers seems just silly. 550 estimated calls, each talking 1 hour for chickens compliance issues? That is about 2 calls a day, for chickens?
What are they going to do...
$45/year for permitting fees on 3 hens.
I guess Sac is hard up for cash. I hope they see the error of their ways as well as see how impossibly hard this will be to enforce.

So we were out of town a few days.
We returned, we found one chicken who managed to wedge her head between the fence and a hen house post. Needless to say she died.
I just have to wonder, did the chicken ever considered pulling her head backward and thus freeing herself? Instead, it looked...
