    Need your input to help draft new city ordinance for Backyard Chickens!

    Here are two examples of ordinances in my area. One of them has pets and poultry together. Just for ideas. One thing that I think that is important is it doesn’t have a a lot to say about the coop design. I don’t think design should be part of the ordinance, unless you live in a very strict HOA...

    I still think it needs to be simpler, especially the part about chicken care. When you have so much description, there is more likelihood of someone using the words of the ordinance in an unintended way to say, accuse a resident of not taking care of their flock because they are not 100%...

    Sounds good, but how is the free range restriction defined? If you have a fenced in backyard can your chickens run during the day around like any dog, etc.? Much healthier lifestyle for them. But if it just means you can’t let them run around the neighborhood, I understand that.

    I think it should state that poultry is allowed (mention if roosters are excluded) and the number. I think all the other would fall under other ordinanes regarding animals and property upkeep. I am basing this off of the ordinances in our area. Government and ordinances are important, but they...
