Chickens

Stray chickens have overrun many parts of New Orleans since it was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Another city, South Florida's Delray Beach, wrestles with whether chickens can co-exist with urban residents.

An unidentified person dressed in a chicken costume came out to a recent city council meeting in Durango, Colorado to support the city's recently-passed backyard hen ordinance.

Urban chickens have been approved in Fort Collins, Colorado. Some, including one vocal city council member, are not happy about it.

Residents of Austin, TX are risking violation of city ordinances forbidding loud animals to raise chickens in their central city neighborhood backyards. It's partly a way to cut out-of-pocket expenses.
