BIG STINK OVER CHICKENS

"The Boonsboro town council’s idea to let people raise chickens on their properties was met with opposition Monday night by a group of town residents who said it would result in filthy, stinking conditions. Some of the people speaking in opposition during a public hearing on the proposal at the Eugene C. Smith Community Center said people should move out of town if they want to raise chickens. One person who supports the proposal said the strong opposition from the group amounted to a “vicious beating” for the idea. The measure would amend the town’s zoning ordinance to allow up to three hens per lot to be kept in the town’s residential, suburban residential and rural residential districts, Town Planner Megan Clark has said."
