Even if its in the covenants and someone goes down to Metro for a permit, they are going to sell you one anyway, Glover said. It would be up to the homeowners associations to fight you legally and they just didnt want that added headache.
The Metro Council passed the chicken bill last month, making it legal for residents to keep up to two, four or six chickens, depending on their property size, for an annual permit fee of $25. But the hens are still forbidden in some neighborhoods throughout the county, where neighborhood covenants prohibit poultry and livestock. Since Metro does not enforce restrictive covenants, it will be each HOAs responsibility to impose its guidelines.
I was surprised because I thought a city council ruling would take precedence over a small neighborhood, she said. Its a great disappointment because we are trying to eat healthier and there is no comparison between fresh eggs and the ones in the grocery store.
The school’s eco committee had raised the funds for the coop from grants and were planning to house about 10 chickens in it as part of their sustainability project.
Stearns County wasnt involved in licensing the Dunhams or placing any children in their home. But the county expended significant resources to clean up the problem once it came to light.State laws designed to protect confidentiality of child placements prohibit public scrutiny of how the Dunhams grew their family and who, if anyone, was scrutinizing that growth.
