Full Notification

It has come to the attention of the Township of Denville and Animal Control that the new Tractor Supply store that has opened in Rockaway Borough is offering baby chicks and ducks for sale.  Given the time of year, sometimes these animals are given as pets and/or kept at a residence with the intention of raising them.  However, we would like to remind our residents that owning such animals is generally prohibited.  Specifically, Ordinance 128-10 states the following:
 
No person shall own, keep, or harbor poultry within the Township of Denville on any property which is less than five acres in size. Poultry refers to any domesticated fowl, including chickens, ducks, geese, pheasants and turkeys.
 
Thank you for your cooperation and have a healthy and happy spring!
