Do you want a chicken coop next door to you? I don't. It will reduce the value of our homes. What kind of diseases will these fowl bring? The city of Fredericksburg is allowing chickens and bees, and what next? Will people be petitioning to grow organic pork?
I was in an HOA and found that people will not vote for or against anything unless it affects them. It only took 700 people in Fredericksburg to change conditions affecting all of Fredericksburg's population.
Welcome to being awakened by the rooster crowing at the break of daylight! Can you enjoy your backyard with the smell of the chicken coop next door?
