Fairhope considering domestic poultry ordinance

The Fairhope City Council will consider passing an ordinance to allow and regulate the keeping of domestic poultry in single family residential zones in the city at its next regular meeting. The council introduced the ordinance at a meeting Thursday, but did not vote on it because two members were absent.

This week’s meeting had been postponed from its regular time on Monday because three members – Rich Mueller, Diana Brewer and Kevin Boone – were out of town. On Thursday, Brewer was present but Mueller and Boone were absent.
