My issue is when you legislate a right, legislate it so it does not infringe upon others. In my opinion, a bad example of an possibly well intentioned, but not well thought out ordinance – Palmetto Bay Ordinance 2023-12, sponsored by Vice Mayor Leanne Tellam. Palmetto Bay officials enacted a hastily considered ordinance which even noted that "...roosters, which can and do disturb the peaceful quality of life in the Village ...." – and yet here they are (Roosters). Now there are feral populations of chickens and the accompanying roosters throughout Palmetto Bay.
And, as many predicted – the chickens would come home to roost. We are now seeing the effects. Free roaming chickens attract Roosters.
Here is a PRIOR RELATED POST where I discussed raising chickens: March 24, 2020, Coronavirus adjustments. In this case, “the 'chickens have come home to roost'” has a positive meaning. Time and a desire for family activities, a pet and eggs, all come together for this family.
Changes due to the Coronavirus. Her son always wanted chickens as a pet. This has become a project during self-quarantine as they now have the time to set it up right. They have an activity. He has the pets he has wanted and she now has fresh eggs. This is a true win/win for all concerned. No longer does her son have to egg her on.
