Pinckneyville fights wireless chickens? No, local fuss over roving fowls
Pinckneyville resident Ann Denman pressured Perry County officials over roaming chickens that kept entering her yard. The board updated the animal control ordinance to require fowls to be penned on the owner's property, effectively creating a leash law for chickens. The neighbor across the road still has a couple of loose birds, and Denman plans to press the issue again at the next meeting as she worries about selling a house near the ongoing fowl problem.
