We purchased the piece of property (1/4 acre fenced in lot) behind us. The deal between K and I was, We buy that and we get to have chickens. (For some reason K has become interested in real estate lately)
Anyway!
Here is the Nxxx Axxx municipal code concerning fowl:

Sec. 5-12. Keeping domestic fowl generally.
It shall be unlawful for any person to keep, possess or have in custody any chickens, turkeys, ducks, guineas, geese, pheasants, pigeons or other domestic fowl that will, because of noise, odors or flies, or otherwise, tend to impair health or disturb the peace, quiet and comfort of nearby residents or occupants of places of business. The board of health shall have the right, power and privilege, through its agents and employees, to inspect the premises where any fowl are kept, and to hold hearings and issue orders in the same manner and for like purpose as provided by section 5-20.
(Ord. No. 82-12, § 1, 6-22-82)

Sweet! as long as we don’t piss off the neighbors, we get to have chickens! They say that as long as you give each chicken 10 feet of space, you can’t smell them, even in the coop.
This ordinance is really an interesting thing, because NA is know to be super strict on their code enforcement. Contractors constantly complain about working in NA… But they allow fowl and some livestock. Go figure. (I’m not complaining!)
