NFMC Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-05-07/news/os-orlando-urban-chickens-20120507_1_chicken-owners-pet-chickens-healthy-chickens This is a very strange article. The citizens of Orlando have been banned from keeping chickens for many years but they are about to strat a trial to see if it doesn't cause any problems. I know that people who comment on these types of news articles aren't exactly representative as a whole but they range from sensible (well-looked after hens are good in an urban environment), to stupid (there will be a plague of diseases) to downright racist (because supposedly Caribbean immigrants all keep chickens). Anyway. Worth a read. Edited May 9, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeloo Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yeah, I bet there's way more than 75-100 people already doing it! It's illegal for people in residential areas in my city to have chickens, too, but I have several friends who do it! That is part of why I only have two, though, and I'm not likely to go over that number! Good luck to them, maybe if it goes well, it will spread to my area!
