Prescott is an old city, they do not have a specific limit or number, just "not a nuisance" and no roosters. Why we are looking to move out of the city limits. Our county has some pretty picky rules, too, depending on the zoning.
What city...I need to whip that person.Ugh. Just saw an article about a local city making laws about backyard chickens. (There aren't any currently and people are keeping chickens)
Coop must not be more then 4' x 4' x 4'. No more then 4 chickens and no rooster.
I've seen a lot of these fights unfold over the last couple of years. Folks need to be armed with facts and shoot down the ignorant. People who nothing about chickens, come up with all kinds of things such as humanly raised, dirty, salmonella, and on and on. Best to be armed with animal welfare standards, from recognized organizations and true science about disease and cleanliness. Often it really boils down to someone thinks yards with chickens make the town look unsophisticated.
Hey, I'm feeding them, providing housing... They can do a little work to earn it. They also need to start paying rent again.
The cracked corn I think is too small, as well as spoiling when it is opened. The whole feed corn they love, have to make them work for it. Whole scratch the same, but I think they do not pick it all up as well, small pieces attracted rodents in the CA area I used to live in. HATE rodents!
I just like abusing you when you tell people to feed corn...that's all.Hey, I'm feeding them, providing housing... They can do a little work to earn it. They also need to start paying rent again.
Talk about how to get the code enforcement guys out! Lots of places we have looked at here I turn down due to the limits on "farm" animals. They let people have 4 horses, but only 8 chickens!
