• No more clucking around: N.J. town lifts backyard chicken ban after 18 years (nj.com subscription) — Collingswood has officially ended its 18-year ban on backyard hens, allowing up to 30 residents at a time to keep chickens under a new permit system. Locals must complete a chicken care course, pay a small annual fee, and meet lot-size and coop rules, while roosters remain prohibited and violations carry steep fines. Officials say the ordinance follows successful models in nearby towns.
