Bureaucratic runaround re: urban chickens in Chicago
Chad Kimball's video exposes the confusing system stacked against anyone trying to get information about keeping urban chickens in Chicagoland. This voyeuristic trip through the bureaucratic maze of Chicago is pretty damning in its exposing the general ineptitude (bordering on hostility?) of the government workers who are supposed to be working for us, right?
Never fear, the outcome is ultimately a good one:
While the City Clerk's office thinks there's an ordinance against chickens (they just can't find it no matter how much they research), the folks in their law department (at the City of Chicago) confirm there is no such ordinance forbidding chickens in the city.
Does this mean urban chickens are legal in the Windy City? Yes, I do believe it does.
Hear that Windy City Gal?
