Am surprised he didnt apply to his council for a permit before he started farming his chooks, pretty sure they are in a different category to sheep, cattle etc.
It started as a small hobby. He ran a few chooks and sold the eggs from an esky out front of his house. They sold, he got more chooks, which laid more eggs and they sold too. Within 18 months he had 500 chooks and was selling eggs as quick as the chooks laid them. He decided he would semi retire and legitimize his chook venture, so he APPLIED TO THE COUNCIL for a permit. It was at this point that they shut him down.
No-one had complained. The chooks just used to wander over a large area of paddock, guarded by a Mareema dog. I actually liked to see them scratching amongst the trees and grass. In the evening he would feed them grain and they would come to their enclosure and roost for the night. It wasn't hurting anyone. They didn't smell, no dust, no noise. .......Just bureaucracy gone mad.
