NEW HAVEN. Conn. (WTNH) - Several goats and 25 chickens were seized from a Fair Haven apartment Tuesday morning.

When officials from the Livable City Initiative arrived at the first floor apartment on Rockhill Road, they say they were met by the tenant, whose feet were covered in feces.

 Inside apartment they found 25 chickens; nine chickens covered in feces in a crate, 11 outside, 1 had been quarantined and 5 were running loose. Officials also found two goats in the woman's bedroom.

Officials called the scene "repulsive."

The landlord said the family had basically been running a farm out of their apartment. They have lived their for 15 years. He says he has started the eviction process.

The tenants on the second floor told officials they could smell the animals as if they were right in front of them.
