The City Council in Sebastopol, CA. (USA), agreed to waive an $80 fee for a woman who owns two chickens. Her home is located in a commercial zone where chickens can reside with an $80 permit (which allows up to 16 chickens). The woman told the council that shes keeping the chickens in case a Y2K glitch causes a disruption in the food supply chain, since chickens dont need computers to lay eggs.
