I found City of Danbury Code of Ordinances in www.municode.com but searching for keyword "chicken" produces no results, finally found a sentence on "hen house" in sec. 9-24 Location of animal pens. It says:
No person shall keep any animal or fowl in any pen, sty, or other place in such manner that said place shall become unwholesome or offensive to any person, nor keep or maintain any hen house within forty (40) feet of the street line, or of any dwelling house or public building.
(Code 1925, § 112)
Then I called division of landuse at City of Danbury's Health and Human Services to enquire about permit, they told me that chickens are not allowed in residential zones. Now I am so confused. I already build a chicken coop to house 4 chickens but not sure whether I should go ahead to get them chickens as the city officials may come slap me a fine. Is there anyone from Danbury, Ct area that can give me some advice?
Thanks!
