Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Does anyone have any experience (or know anyone who does) with raising farm animals in a residential or urban area in the USA? I'm interested in chickens and goats. Especially goats because my (newly purchased) back yard needs the chomping! I'm sure it's illegal to have 'non-pet' animals in most urban/suburban places. Still I'd love to hear from anyone who has done it or looked into challenging the laws. And I want informed opinions on the laws. Are there good reasons to ban chickens and goats from the city? Or does it come down to that peculiar brand of American snobbishness? The impetus for this is looking at the Hieffer International brochure (great organization, discussed here before) and thinking 'gee, I have land in the richest country in the world -- and I can't even have a live chicken on it? What's up with that?' Thanks, Daphne (maybe we can start a movement - a chicken in every yard!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
