Those goats weren’t for eating or milking. They must be dancing goats.
Uhm, why are you looking for Chads?
Chads are lots of trouble. Someone’s got to keep an eye on them.
Mmmmmmm…chicken
This story is somewhat erroneous. The Decatur code of ordinances is quite explicit regarding the keeping of chickens. Sections 14-8 through 14-13 dictate living conditions, sanitary conditions, waste disposal, and similar. The calculations regarding coop size per bird and required distance from adjacent properties actually do provide a calculable limit on the number of chickens that can be kept on any given property.
