If you think politicians are a bunch of dumb clucks, this may reinforce that opinion.Mayor Byron Brown has made it official….the chickens can come home to roost in Buffalo. The mayor signed a law which lets city residents raise chickens. But before you turn into Old MacDonald, be aware….there are strict rules to follow.
Among the restrictions….you can only have up to five hens....roosters are a cock-a-doodle-don’t….and if your neighbors say no, the city says no to your application for a permit. And forget a roadside stand or amateur butcher shop….you CANNOT sell meat or eggs.
Even with the restrictions, a lot of city residents are squawking about the idea. Opponents say chickens are noisy and they smell. On the other hand, that describes a lot of people I’ve lived near.
Who says city government doesn’t tackle the important issues?
Why is this even a issue? Buffalo blows.
