Coming Home to Roost
The Post-Dispatch ran a story yesterday about how Chesterfield is considering an ordinance that would tackle the growing menace of urban chickens. The article looks into the phenomenon of chicken husbandry in residential neighborhoods, and also discusses how municipalities across the metro area have addressed the chicken question, all of which is kind of interesting. But my real reason for pointing out the article is to direct your attention to all the commenters who (at least where chickens are concerned) share my thoughts about property rights.
