Reply to comment by InvaderMixo in With the cost of Eggs being high due to inflation have others started their own chicken by Brudesandwich

You can feed chickens compost made at home so no need to even order or buy food just for them. The Heights, Greenville, and Westside have plenty of homes with backyards.

That's not true. You're not always going to have table scraps to feed them.

And again, the enjoyment of your backyard is greatly diminished when there's a chicken coop just over the fence. The neighborhoods you mentioned don't have backyards more than a maybe 200 sq feet if at that. Neighbors will hear them and smell them.

Which is why the ordinance says you can have a coop if you're neighbors give written consent.

What if they initially consent and then decide that they're bothered by it? What if they move and you get new neighbors?

I would assume you have to get their consent as well?.
