[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]According to the latest Post article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/dc-council-poised-to-block-bowsers-backyard-chicken-ban/2017/05/05/cae5d944-30e5-11e7-8674-437ddb6e813e_story.html The chicken ban, the cat-licensing requirement, and the dog feces removal requirement are all going down to defeat. Gray, Cheh, and Grosso will vote against the legislation on the five-person committee. [/quote] Backyard chicken owners should have permits to ensure proper animal husbandry. As a child we had relatives on both sides with chickens. Old chickens were slaughtered for dinner. Fairfax County requires 2 acres or a zoning permit, coops with 3+ chickens each having 4 sq ft of space [prevents fighting]. Some people just let dogs out into small yards and don't ever clean up. Dog licenses enable tracking on strays, biters, rabies vaccines. [/quote]
