Chickify HOllywood

The city of hollywood is handing out citations for keeping chickens and then following up with up to 200, 000 bucks in fines and there are no laws or codes that ban them. This also includes confiscation of computers, dodging emails and phone calls to discuss the lack of such made up codes and fines. Some citations issued state any where from 100.00 for an infraction to 250.00 per day or 5,000.00 per day. The guy who complained about my hens after keeping them for 12 years, is also the city employee that routinely complained about my single parent neighbor with 7 children. He was upset that they lived on her property!!! She had to get a lawyer to get him to stop!!! When a puppy mill across the street was called in by another neighbor not employed by the city, no citations was issued, even though breeding animals is addressed in the city code. I hatched eggs purchased on ebay so I technically did not breed the hens I kept for eggs.
