John Kilian mentioned that Forest Grove doesn't allow chicken keeping, but as of March of this year, that ordinance has been approved and is now in place.  I keep chickens to the delight of neighbors and local children.  We keep a very clean backyard facility composting droppings for our organic garden.  Like John said, education is critical for anyone wishing to start a flock.  Chicago, New York and Los Angelos are just a few of the major cities that allow urban chickens.  It's absurd that bedroom communities of Portland are resisting the movement.
