Canadian here: Do I have to have been to Iowa to get this? Seems like a pretty reasonable bilaw to me.

My town has a similar ordinance.

I've got 14 hens and a rooster.

Our president rapes children. You wanna hassle me over a fucking rooster? Here's a dozen eggs, find someone who gives a shit.

The point of the ordinance is for Karen's to fuck with their immigrant neighbors. It's not enforced on white Americans like me. I'm fine. Karen can suck my cock.

That's 100% it, too. I know it comes across crass but that's the reality. Cops aren't going around auditing chickens or even listening for rooster crows. The only way this is enforced is by neighbor complaint, and only asshole neighbors would complain about shit like this, and IME most assholes are racist.

Seems like a council that is trying to say yes but also make sure the other side feels heard and protected.. unless this is a town of 10 in the middle of no where it seems reasonable to me... I wish this was my council at times

Seems pretty reasonable

Those are perfectly reasonable urban/suburban rules for keeping chickens.

I like roosters though so i’d allow them but i can see why other people don’t like them.

And NO FUCKING CHICKEN SHACKS GUYS. These are henHOUSES okay? Dont wanna see no plywood leaning on bricks type shit.

My major objection is the $25 fee.
