Denver City Council eases way to own chickens, goats at home

http://www.denverpost.com/politics/ci_18319369

Now the resident undocumented can feel right at home, just like their third world shithole.

The license will allow them to keep up to eight chickens or ducks — but not roosters or drakes — and up to two dwarf goats without having to get a zoning permit or notify the public.

Some people will say that this is for the 'yuppie urban farmer', that's just cover so Denver can cater to more illegal alien scum.

This was the crux of a conversation my wife and I had regarding this idea. She works in the Highlands area which is prime tree hugging, pot and pole smoking and carpet munching liberal Denver. She thought it was a great idea, that you now don't have to go to Sunflower Market to get your Holistic eggs.
I thought it was a great way to turn your neighborhood into Juarez. I can see future headlines: "Chicken Thief Caught" or "Loose Chickens Cause 35 Car Wreck on I-70 and Lowell".

Nice move Denver City Council.

If you want to raise chickens, goats and such WTF did you buy a house in Denver?

I agree, more liberal catering to borderjumpers who want to turn Denver into Mexico City. We're already out numbered here.
Also, side note, I just learned for the first time last night that New Mexico is the only U.S. state that has their state constitution in English AND Spanish.... we're starting to move to a bilingual country and I don't like it... call it my racist or prejudiced nature but I think Spanish is a filthy language.

No, Mexican is a filthy language. Spanish is beautiful. Mexican is full of slang and different dialect that makes it sound annoying...much like Chinese.

OT, I don't really know what the big deal here is. It doesn't seem like this is going to be as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.

It won't be. I live in unincorporated Jefferson County between Littleton and Lakewood. We can have livestock, chickens, whatever. How many people in my neighborhood do? None that I know of. And yes, it is a VERY diverse neighborhood.

I have no problem with the government getting out of the way of my right to have chickens on my property. People just need to be sensible and not let it adversely affect their neighbors.

I'm the last person you'll find complaining about the government getting out of the way.

As for the reasons why this is good: Urban homesteading isn't just some hippy ideal. There are many right wing individuals with a preparedness mindset that will take full advantage of this.

< Right wing, want chickens, also real farms are EXPENSIVE.


I see no problem with this. I prefer to be left alone at every turn, be it right or left leaning classically.


Also Chinese isn't a language, they speak Mandarin or Cantonese for the most part, I don't like the sound of either. I personally prefer the sound of Mexican/Latin American Spanish to Castilian, too much lisping in the Old World. That said, I think English is just fine for the US and it is much easier to remain that way. It seems most countries that allow for multiple national languages also have movements supporting secession.

Yes I have thought about this very thing for my family, but how long do you think they would last after SHTF?

Phew, I'm not alone, okay. And true, I find Cheech Marin to be an annoying little fat, dirty Mexican, but Antonio Banderas I find to be a refined, handsome Spaniard who makes pretty good movies. I guess it's just I have had too many dealings with the dirty ones who come here and refuse to learn English.

I keep a flock of about 20 chickens. I am also on 2 acres in the county. I speak English too. We raise them for eggs, which can supply my family with all the protein they need daily. I do not know if it is a good thing in the suburbs or the city. But if you do not have a rooster, they would go virtually undetected in a small flock.

Goats on the other hand are noisy whiney creatures.
