Backyard Chickens May Have Jumped the Shark
$1,500 coops, $20 ceramic eggs, and other absurdities.
A friend of mine is moving this month from the densely packed streets of Brooklyn to the wide-open spaces of Telluride, Colorado. One of the things she won’t be able to take with her are her beloved backyard chickens, which she and her family have tended for years.
Yep, they let you have backyard chickens in Brooklyn, but in the mountain community of Telluride, population 2,200, according to the municipal code, "No person shall keep, board or care for any noncompanion animal within the Town."
