Hens do not need roosters to lay eggs; they need roosters to make baby chickens. This ordinance is geared for those of us who want fresh eggs. There are also strict guidelines included for the housing of your hens and the number of hens per household. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-78483061573665836832010-01-23T02:23:37.894-05:002010-01-23T02:23:37.894-05:00I'm gonna second KMac's suggestion.

I moved to Knoxville from Austin, where backyard poultry is allowed under a general "noise and nuisance" clause... meaning, not too loud and not too stinky. We kept seven hens in our backyard, and while hens aren't quiet, especially when they're singing their egg-laying song, they're not even close to roosters. <br />Having the funny personalities of the seven ladies clucking around my backyard all day was awesome. I'd love for Knoxville to give urban chickens the thumbs-up!KMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11020984669393569055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974628747643667572.post-50338201156005297932010-01-22T16:55:26.125-05:002010-01-22T16:55:26.125-05:00Can they be put in a very comfortable, sound-proof...Can they be put in a very comfortable, sound-proof hen house at night and early in the morning? Maybe with bean bag chairs and even a TV.

But considering my current people neighbors are noisy enough as it is and I am constantly frustrated by the sound of their TVs, stomping up and down the stairs, door slamming, etc., I really really really would dislike having a neighbor with some loud ass roosters.
