If a chicken owner does basic "housekeeping" on the coop once a week, really there is no bad smell. They have an odor, yes, but it's not bad, just different. Ferrets smell WAY worse then chickens (my sister has ferrets - I love the little rodents but they stink so bad, even after descenting them LOL). Just an example of things that smell worse then chickens but that are allowed =) An unkempt chicken coop smells like…crap =) But, it smells better then a yard full of dog poop, which most of my neighbors have.

I wish you all the best. My biggest concern, personally was the smell but a friend of mine whose neighbor has them told me she never smells them. So really, why not? Good luck.

The town I'm thinking of moving to is also fighting to get chickens right now. I don't live there yet so don't have a vote, but I'm following it. Good luck on getting chickens.
