As the debate about whether the Rome City Commission should allow families/households to keep a few hens for either educational or food purposes the Rome-Floyd Planning Commission offered a potential three pages of regulations, including the creation of four different “zoning districts” to determine whether or not the fowl would be permitted.
Even figuring this was a “throw the whole henhouse at them” omnibus from which the commissioners could pick and choose (or totally refuse) what they liked/disliked, that seems a wonderful lesson in what happens when government gets hold of what should be a simple problem.
Really now, how hard can this be? Let’s say: No more than four hens, no roosters, must be in fenced enclosure or yard on single-family lot of XXX size and not a rental property.
