The removal of chickens from Roslindale - city laws forbid raising poultry throughout Boston - has sparked a movement over the past year that has swelled from petitions to websites to a large city meeting last month that drew hundreds of local residents, most of whom were lobbying officials to change the laws. As a result, city officials have launched what they’re calling an urban agriculture initiative, which within a year may allow residents in some neighborhoods to raise chickens.

What does a person do with 120 eggs per month? That's a lot of scrambled eggs.
These are health hazards for such tightly packed, densely populated neighborhoods. Chicken feed will attract rodents of all types.
My grandma had chickens, geese and ducks in Hyde Park when I was a kid but it was different times then now people gripe and whine more. I am surprised the illegals have not stolen them yet.
