Well the latest is Vote won't happen till 28th May

after 2 public forums at the scheduled meetings. Then if it passes won't take effect till June 2nd

, so no more 5/20 chicks more than likely none this year.

First reading of the new ordinance is Thursday 14 May. The 28th is the final vote and last public comment chance.

Heres the new ordinance (new in bold) as of right now.

C. It is unlawful to house any poultry or livestock other than normal household pets within one hundred feet of any residence.
1. Up to five hen chickens are considered normal household pets. It is unlawful for poultry to make unreasonably loud and raucous noise, or for odor emanating from the rearing of poultry to be perceptible at the property boundaries. Poultry shall be housed a minimum of forty feet from the front property line.

The new law if final, I will be legal.
