Crying fowl: Possible ban on ducks in Cambridge ruffles feathers

The owners of three Cayuga ducks and two Wyandotte chickens are blogging to keep Cambridge from banning their pets.

Seems the People's Republic currently doesn't regulate domestic fowl, but apparently some neighbors of an eight-person co-op house on Putnam Street are clucking about odors, noise, rats and, of course, the specter of deadly flu strains.

Save the Ducks says that's just daffy: The birds are clean, there are no rats and Cambridge shouldn't waddle behind New York City and neighboring Arlington in promoting urban agriculture.
