I received tons of emails about this great development. The Examiner reports, D.C. proposes looser restrictions on urban chickens:

“Ward 6 D.C. Councilman Tommy Wells is proposing to erase rules that prohibit fowl within 50 feet of any building “used for human habitation,” a regulation that denies most District residents the opportunity to harbor hens.”

So be honest: If this passes who’s going to get a chicken?
