Sorry it's taken me a while to catch up with this. The question
was:
| My understanding is that downtown Ithacans are allowed to have up
| to three chickens - has anyone double-checked this?
Chickens are not allowed anywhere in the City of Ithaca. From the
City Code:
ยง 164-2 Keeping of animals restricted.
A. Prohibition. No person shall keep, pasture, breed, raise,
harbor, stable or maintain any bees, poultry, chickens, turkeys,
ducks, geese or any other fowl or reptiles or any swine, horses,
cows, mules, sheep, goats or any other animals, except
domesticated pets, within the City.
B. Exception. This section shall not apply to any educational,
scientific or research institution maintaining, with adequate
safeguards as to public health, safety, comfort and convenience,
any animals or other creatures for scientific, medical or other
research purposes.
If I lived in the City instead of the Town, I'd be talking to my
Councilperson about changing this.
