So we actually did get another complaint, another call today from the city saying we need to get them off the property, move the coop, and fix a few other things in the yard, or we’ll get fined.
So I brought the little ducklings to my cousin, he has a few toddlers who will take good care of...
I’m not sure that it’s a statewide issue, most cities in MA allow for chickens. It’s just a few cities in Western mass that limit or
I believe it says poultry or livestock definitely not just chickens.
Got another call from the city saying another complaint was made, so I had to take the ducklings to a new home ):
They will great there though with a little pond and I can visit anytime!
Hi! Thanks, definitely getting a lot better since it is more primarily used now I wouldn’t consider it a second language.
I’ve been pretty good, definitely busy and crazy with the whole chicken and city situation, still in the process of changing the ordinance to allow us to have them again.
I...
Well, not really much updates about amending the ordinance.
I am consistently reaching out to the council member who said something should be done by the end of May.

I’m in Western MA, I recently had to get rid of mine due to neighbors complaints, but I know some people around here who can take them if you’re willing to travel to Western MA.

He also told me that we shouldn’t have let them on...
We have done so much work on this coop in the last few years. Upgrades, additions etc. It has housed thousands of eggs and sheltered hundreds of chicks throughout the years.
I’m praying we are still able to put it to use after some time!
Upon reaching out to the council member who made the proposal last year, I have yet to hear from him after a few days. I’m thinking he’s not willing to make the proposal again.
Which leaves me with petitioning.
I’m going to go to city hall tomorrow to talk to someone about the process for...
Definitely won’t be taking it out on them😅.
Clearly there’s a reason they reported it and maybe to them it seems right to do it. And to be fair we were not in compliance with the ordinance so I can’t really be mad at them, they don’t understand the connection we have. And maybe it was with ill...
So after contacting the city council member who made the proposition to allow chickens in residential areas last year, I was told to contact the city planner, which I did.
He finally returned my call today.
Because we are in a Residential A area, obtaining a license to have the chickens isn’t...
