"Chicken talk"  About 90 years ago there were chickens in  Riverdale.  They 
lived in my back yard.  I learned this from the  former owner who lived here at 
the time and my lot was just a vacant lot.   Way in the back you can still 
see the remains of where the chicken fence  was.  Now, that is the exact place I 
plant my garden and it always  produces!  I love my eggs from free roaming, 
cage free chickens but if we  all decided to have a hen house, I think it would 
turn into a problem.  So  I will get my eggs from Farmer Jerry who usually 
has pictures of his hens and a  good story to tell. 

Good luck to the lone rooster  Hope he makes it.

as far  as the last point, i think that towns that do allow for
backyard chickens  typically restrict that to hens only, and don't
allow roosters.
