Revise the definition of "Household hennery" to clarify it as an accessory residential use <br />for keeping female chickens for non-commercial egg production, and to remove reference <br />to other poultry types (e.g., turkeys, ducks, geese). Revise the definition to state: <br />"... an outdoor site on a parcel or lot that is an accessory use to a dwelling, where female <br />chickens [tur e5iy a e s - et id. —]are kept, raised, and maintained for the <br />non-commercial production and consumption of eggs.
