The Whitehall Ledger - Serving Southern Jefferson County in the Great State of Montana

Dear Editor,

Not wanting to ruffle any feathers, I would like to comment on the proposed ruling in Whitehall, limiting the number of domestic chickens.

First, that is a poultry (paltry) number. Chickens do not lay every day, so a homeowner may not get many eggs from a few birds.

Furthermore, I don't know of anyone opposed to chickens in Whitehall. Who eggzactly is complaining? And who hatched this proposal?

What is the pecking order for ordinances in Whitehall? I honestly think the City has more important things to do than scratch for fine money from chicken owners. Sounds like fowl play to...
