| A Backyard Trend |
| Growing numbers of San Diegans are keeping backyard chickens, motivated by an interest in local food production. |
| The Catch |
| Though the city rarely enforces the rule, many of those chickens are illegal because fowl must be kept at least 50 feet from homes. |
| What’s The Big Deal? |
| Neighbors complain, but advocates would like the city to loosen its rules. |
