Ann Arbor OK's chickens in your back yard

By a vote of 7-4, the ownage of up to four hens was approved by Ann Arbor City Council last night. Some stipulations were put in place as far as housing of said chickens and you would need an OK from your neighbors, but as of now, Ann Arbor has taken the lead in spreading the bird flu (and omelettes) in Washtenaw County. The four who voted NO on owning chickens were Joan Lowenstein, Stephen Rapundalo, Leigh Greden and Chris Easthope.

Will you be getting a chicken or four?
