Hey Phil, Just stumbled on your wtebise looking for the current Champaign ordinance on having backyard chickens and goats (yes, goats!). Did you know that you used to be able to keep chickens in Champaign?? I don't know what the ordinance used to be or when/if it changed, but a former neighbor had chickens in their backyard for several years before we moved in. I'm not sure when that would have been, but I'd guess 10+ years ago. They also had a rooster that crowed. Maybe the rooster ruined it for the clan and Champaign shut them down under the nuisance ordinance. Anyway, I wonder what the status is for the push to allow backyard chickens, as I'm looking to raise them for eggs. If this is still under consideration, please let me know. I may even know a science teacher to try and recruit for the effort. Thanks!
