Today marks the first day that residents of Longmont, Colorado, have been able to apply to have urban chickens legally.
Back on Feb. 24, the Longmont City Council voted to allow chickens in residential areas, limiting the number of households that can keep them to just 50 so as not to overwhelm the animal control officers.
The Longmont Times-Call reports a dozen people were waiting for the doors to open to get their $30 permit this morning and by 11am, half the 50 permits were gone.
This trial run ends Dec 31, 2010, and lets hope our friends in Longmont can keep their urban chickens above ground after that!
