Hi, I'm new to this mailing list and joined because I've wanted to raise a small flock (3-4) of chickens in my backyard for several years. We own a house in NE Ithaca (Salem Drive, .45 acres) and it is zoned Medium Density Residential. According to the online TOI zoning rules, chickens can only be kept on Agricultural & Low Density Residential properties (i.e. the decidedly country part of the Town of Ithaca). I don't think chicken keeping in those zones fit the concept of city/town backyard chickens. So is my info out of date? Can we raise chickens in the "Town" part of the Town of Ithaca? It looks like this subject has been discussed on this list & I better look into the archives to get up to speed. I would love to meet others who want to raise a flock of chickens in Ithaca (city & town). I want to do this legally - no stealth chicken keeping here.
