Too little too late really, since we already have our hens.....and I know of others in my town that do as well. But anyway, this is what it states:
505.15 KEEPING OF LIVESTOCK.
(a) Definitions. For purposes of this section the following terms shall have the assigned meaning.
(1) "Livestock" means cattle, goats, mules, hogs, sheep, horses and poultry.
(2) Keeping means to maintain, tend, harbor, feed and shelter by stable, barn, pen or other enclosure.
(b) Nuisance. The keeping of livestock, except as regulated herein, is hereby declared a public nuisance because of the resulting sounds, smells, filth and vermin detrimental to the peace, comfort and health of numerous surrounding inhabitants, and protection of the public way.
(c) Regulation. No person shall keep livestock within fifty yards of any dwelling, church, school, hospital or any other building which, from time to time, is used for human occupancy, or any public street. Provided, however, that in the sound discretion of the Board of Adjustment, livestock may be kept in such numbers as will not create a health hazard or hazard to the public way in an enclosure maintained in a clean and sanitary condition and free from all refuse. No person shall permit any decaying food, or any refuse of any kind to remain in such enclosure. Refuse, when swept up or collected, shall be kept in airtight containers and disposed of in accordance with the solid waste disposal regulations of the City. No person shall permit any such refuse to remain uncovered

Okay.....so to me....it sounds like they will make an exception as long as everything is clean and sanitary?? I don't know...very confusing...
