If a resident fails to pen them adequately or stinks up the neighborhood by not mucking the coop, there are already rules on the books to deal with the problem. I say let the chicks fall where they may.

Keeping dogs and cats is legal in Evanston. Coyotes and rats are not a big problem for dogs and cats and will not be a problem for hens. Keeping hens is common in Illinois' rural and collar counties. Other suburbs have already accepted hens as pets with no big problems. The world is changing. Evanston can change for the better.
