Napoleon committee recommends no chickens for residents

A Napoleon city com­mit­tee is say­ing no to poul­try in the city. They’ve rec­om­mended that coun­cil not allow res­i­dents to own poul­try over con­cerns of noise, avian flu, waste, and hav­ing only one employee to enforce the zon­ing code. Other con­cerns included not want­ing to attract preda­tors like foxes and snakes. The idea first came up in Octo­ber. The com­mit­tees rec­om­men­da­tion to keep the chick­ens out will be pre­sented to coun­cil to con­sider on Monday.
