Chicken permit

[Walter bone]

Why should I have to have a permit to raise chickens for my food
From what I understand, they have no jurisdiction

Where are you located? I’ve been hearing more and more about this nonsense.

In a lot of towns/cities near me they require permits. It's a way to manage how many city chickens there are. It helps manage complaints from the folks who want city life to not include "farm animals".

There are a wide range of reasons many areas are requiring permits.

I live on 2 acres the is agricultural/residential. My town states I have to have a permit if I want chickens. Why do I need to pay for a permit,another back door tax. Non of anyone's business what we raise for food on agricultural land. It will be our food.Nothing for sale. I see this as over reach and invasion of our privacy.
We have a reasonable expectation of privacy. I have constitutional rights that allow me to use my property as I see fit.
They have no jurisdiction.
This is going to far. It may seem pety, but not to us.

You are living in the wrong state to expect any personal freedoms.

And I'm sure it's another way to make money.
