[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much for the "urban" in DCUM. WTF....[/quote]

are you saying people in Bethesda and Rockville aren't allowed or shouldn't have chickens because of the label "urban" :shock:  guess what? they do. I know friends who secretly have coops hidden next to their garden in rockville and the town of Gaithersburg encourages the practice. they just reduced it to 50ft from neighbor's homes. you never know youre neighbor could have a bunch

No, I, saying once you choose to keep farm animals on your property you really can't call yourself "urban". But I don't consider Rockville or Gathersburg (?) to be urban anyway.

What's next, keeping a cow so you can have fresh milk and cheese?[/quote]

Plenty of "urban" people had chickens back in the day. My grandparents grew up with chickens in Brooklyn. They were immigrants. [/quote]

My grandparents had chickens too in Brooklyn. They also did not have a fridge or electricity. So there is that. [/quote]

PP here with chicken-raising Brooklyn grandparents. Oh I didn't say they were well off. I assume they would have preferred not to slaughter their own dinner in their backyard if they didn't have to.[/quote]
