TOH Chicken Law

[kelliehunter]

After planning on getting a chicken for about 2 weeks now I find out that I’m allowed to get them with a special permit so I start planning where thefoop is gonna go the brooder and everything until I find out the price of the permit. I get told by the town that it’s $500 for a special use permit and additional fees apply which is ridiculous. I don’t mind spending $500 on chickens over a total of years altogether but not just to get the chickens and I then I would have to get a variance and if my neighbors complain about noise they could taken away this is all just stressing me out but my mom is going to talk to someone who works for he town so hopefully it all works out.

What happened?
Did you pay for the permit?

Not really cause the additional fees that come with the permit will add up to about $2000 which is totally absurd so we’re just gonna get them on the low. The sound of cars and trucks will mask the sound of any clucking

My city doesn't allow chickens at all but I've have several for many years now and no one has complained.

If we get caught by my neighbor, we’ll say they have an illegal pool
