Would You Leave Your City If It Bans Urban Chickens?
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the city that allows urban chickens.
Today, it's not uncommon to see one city ban urban chickens and a neighboring one allow urban chickens.
Naysayers state that chickens shouldn't be in the city, because that's what "the countryside" is for. They make assertions of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and disease/death) about the dire impact of allowing urban chickens, yet I've not seen a recorded case of a municipality's demise due to municipal code making room for a citizen to exercise the liberty of having five or six hens in a responsibly kept urban chicken environment on their own property.
But would you move from you city if you wanted to keep a few hens and the city prohibited it?
Based on dollars and cents it wouldn't make sense. Spend several thousand dollars in realtor fees and moving expenses in order to live in a urban chicken friendly city seems to far outweigh being able to raise and eat your own poultry products.
Based on liberties and sense, however, maybe the equation isn't so clear.
In one town where a 'trial urban chicken ordinance' is in effect, the chicken owners must apply for a permit to raise no more than six hens, attend an approved chicken raising course, leg band their chickens, and not slaughter any of their chickens in the city limits. Yet in that same city, you don't need a permit to own ten dogs and are not required to attend a dog raising course. Oh, and the same city code does not prohibit slaugherting of dogs, cats, or the catfish you just caught at the river and brought back to town.
It seems like other types of property owner (dog owners, cat owners, and fishermen) have more liberties than the urban chicken owner in that city.
Perhaps if you believe your city is reducing your perceived rights (I'd rather say, providing for your liberties when it's something like chickens), that might warrant taking your residence to a city that allows urban chickens. Some folks are wired to weather the fight for their backyard chicken liberties, and it appears that most backyard chicken advocates are civic minded, responsible citizens. Aren't the civic minded, responsible citizens the ones you want in your community?
But the stress of being in the crosshairs of a fight between pro-chicken and anti-chicken factions might be worth the realtor fees and moving costs if your city closes the door on your urban chicken aspirations.
Perhaps it's better that birds of a feather flock together, including their property taxes, their consumer habits, and their liberty loving lifestyles to those communities that are willing to embrace something sustainable like urban chickens, regionalized foodsystems, and regionalized renewable energy.
Why did YOUR chicken cross the road? Was it to get to the neighboring town with a coop friendly city council?
