Maybe they were trying to fertilize their lawn?
Please consider reporting this to animal control. Chicken excrement is hazardous, and livestock are prohibited in our neighborhood.
Chickens aren't hazardous if kept properly, however, it's illegal to keep chickens in the District.
I'm aware of the non-legal aspects of keeping a chicken in the city. However, I don't want to be the one to separate Nana from her pet chicken. Also I'm not a huge fan of the law.
When I was a middle schooler I had a dozen chicks for a 4-H project. We lived in the city limits. I raised them till I had one hen and one rooster ( I accidently killed one, and the possums, fire ants, and roaming dogs killed the rest). It was great, the hen would lay an egg on the front porch and we got the freshest eggs ever. They also helped the front yard with the chicken poop.
Now I was a 11 year old with 2 chickens and no humans died and the lawn got greener. However, if I were a major poultry producer on the Eastern Shore with more poop than front yard, then yes, I would have a hazardous material.
See? Everybody's doing it. Now go get those prairie chickens and put 'em on your sod roof.
Great, the "Stop Snitching" ethic extends to illegal poultry.
Stop Snitching? What is this Baltimore?
Nah. Just not keen on the supposed law and I also took a look on the DC Council's website to find what law in the DC Code Nana might be breaking and couldn't find it. I think, not sure, you are supposed to have a permit to have a chicken. So she could get or already have a chicken permit.
Congrats! you made it into Express today page 44.
Thanks. Hello Express Readers. Methinks the Express likes chicken stories. Last time I was in the Express was the chickens on a hot sod roof, which I'm not getting (sod or chickens).
Congrats on making Express (again). :)
