Here a chick, there a chick
Buchanan: The town s ordinance says no farm animal (horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens, roosters, llamas and alpacas) shall be kept within the boundaries of the Darboy Joint Sanitary District No. 1, within any platted subdivision, within any residential zoned area or on any parcel of land less than three acres in size.
However, chickens and roosters could be kept in those areas if the property owner obtained a special exception permit. The nonrefundable application fee for the permit is $300. Clerk-Treasurer Cynthia Sieracki said one permit was granted in 2018.
Chickens and roosters can be kept by homeowners living outside the restricted areas.
