You must keep your pet chicken on a leash
Make sure when you tell your chicken to not run around without a leash…
Sec. 4-1-5. Livestock running at large. It shall be unlawful for the owner or keeper of any hog, cattle, mule, sheep, goat, fowl or any other livestock or nontraditional livestock animal to permit it to run at large in the limits of Athens-Clarke County or to stray from the property of the owner or keeper or to go upon the premises of any other person. (Ord. of 12-1-98, § 1)
