Backyard birds attract rats. We've been through this on Lancer Drive. We are all pushed too close together for chicks coops.

I recognize that this is a county code issue, but Hyattsville should seek some sort of waiver or pilot project to allow hens in the city.

@T. Carter Ross and @Reba Patterson thanks for bringing this up. Backyard poultry has been a question raised before and they certianly ha have several environmental benefits. We will take this into consideration for the plan.
