Cats get and transmit bird flu. The cats die.

I'll pay 2x the current price of eggs to make sure my neighbor doesn't have a chicken coop.
People have the right to farm and feed their family
not according to your local government!
no one is stopping you from moving 30 miles west or east to your own little farm.
Almost every local jurisdiction allows poultry as pets
You will need a permit. Unless you have more than two acres. If you have more than two acres, you already sold to a developer.
Not where I live. Farming in residential zones is allowed on all agricultural and single-family zoned properties. Urban Farming is allowed in the residential zones for townhomes and multifamily communities as well other non-residential zones.

Where do you live?
People's Republic of Fairfax County.
You mean the reasonable side of the Potomac that actually attempts to protect public health and the environment.
No. I mean the busybodies who worry about the color of the bike shed next to the nuclear reactor.
I think it's funny that the posters who apparently hate everything about the area also hate backyard chickens. Not surprising, but funny.
Yes, let’s eliminate zoning and give our neighbors the bird flu. https://www.wric.com/news/virginia-news/positive-bird-flu-case-in-accomack-county/amp/
If you’re worried about getting the flu, get a flu shot and wear a mask.
FFS, don’t you remember the advice you gave everyone during covid? Wear a mask! Get a vaccination or booster!
What happened to that?
There’s no human vaccine against bird flu yet. Not sure there will be one with NIH infectious disease research on the chopping block

Bird flu is here, last thing anyone should encourage is rookies getting backyard chickens.

I suggest Silkies - they are excellent layers and very friendly and social. They are smaller than commercial layers and relatively hardy. You can convert a one car garage to house 3-5 comfortably.
Can I keep them in my apartment?

No eggs anywhere today. Last time it was $7.50.
You have to say where you are. There are eggs. Stop being so vague if you want to post in a helpful fashion.

Suburban backyard chicken eggs will end up costing you WAYYY more than $11/dozen. There’s also smelly daily work involved, something many of you city-slickers have shied away from your entire lives.

H5n1 is spread through migratory birds and some songbirds (and other wildlife now) to your backyard flock. Then to your pets and to you. Not a great idea now unless you keep them inside 24/7.

You have to have a certain sized yard and live a certain distance from your neighbor. Most houses don't meet that requirement.
