Ive got nothing against my neighbor, fresh eggs, or chickens, Borghesi said. But this has just gotten to be too much. Four or five chickens? Whatever. But why do you need 20?
His neighbors want Napervilles code updated to draw the line at four chickens. They also are pressing for regulations that specifically forbid roosters; prohibit coops from being placed fewer than 50 feet from the nearest occupied residence; and require permits for owning the birds.
Looks like a good way to keep a stack contained. Thanks for sharing, John. For those of you who don’t have your wood cut for the year, you better get crackin’.
Deciding a limited number would be rather arbitrary considering that we maybe get a couple complaints a year over the last 10 years, said John Rutkowski, operations manager for the citys development services team.
These are three wood holders I made, basically a pallet on the ground, 5 pallets around it with two wires between each to hold them together. One pallet has two wires that are looped in each other making a door-like latch.
