I have to go with a no. I have sympathy for the child and his family, but that weighed against the right so all the people that bought knowing that no farm animals would be allowed.

Not hard at all....

If these therapy chickens actually do benefit him as stated by his doctor then he should be allowed at least a couple to help him with his condition. We make exceptions and overlook most everything for one reason or another and this child should be no different. Chickens can live on a farm or not, just like dogs, and they are by no means any less sanitary. Let's see we can keep Boa Constrictors/Pythons but not chickens even with the required permit????

I think we can expect to see this decision reversed, and maybe some egg on the town council's face.

After all he doesn't live in Beverly Hills.
