Lombard: chickens out

Wagner Farm, Glenview, Illinois

For your weekend amusement, we present this Daily Herald report on the debate over keeping chickens in Lombard. The debate included the classic slippery-slope argument: chickens are a gateway animal and inevitably lead to pigs.

Money quote: chickens are “not fitting in with the Lombard lifestyle.” Take that, ye who call it Slumbard.
