2. The keeping of chickens on parcels between 1/2 and 1 acre is limited to 4 hens. Limit to 4 Hens (0.5-1 Acres) 47% ■ Agree 30% 4 ■ Disagree Agree Disagree It should be 1/4-1 acre. The allowance should be at least six on half and more for up to an acre at least six or more hens Agree Should be 6 hens. Potentially not all will live, and if you start out with 4 you may only end up with 2 which is not enough eggs for a small family. A limit is good to be in place to help reduce overpopulation of the chickens, noise, and smell No! Houses are WAY too close together! Chickens are NOT domestic animals. I bought a city home, not a country home with farm animals living next door Agree Why only 4? 4-6 Still too close to neighbors 6 The city don't take care of the dog problem why add more problems If out of city limits. I think that there should be a distinction between 'free-range' and fully contained coops. 4 hens for free range would be healthy for the hens and could be easily kept clean. If the homeowner had a fully contained coop, (for example) no larger than 8'x 10', they should be able to house 8 hens. Six hens or less would be preferred. You shouldn't count as long as they keep it clean 6 hens on any city lots can be well maintained with fenced lots and proper housing Private property. Government should not be allowed to tell people how many chickens they're allowed to have. more than an acre is needed You should be able to keep more. Should not be allowed I would say 6 is easy on that amount of land. 10 would be easy. Chickens are not that difficult to take care of. NO ROOSTERS Half an acre to an acre is more than sufficient to handle more than four hens I think chickens should only be allowed on 1+ acre Not agreed 6 No limit, provided the hens are for personal uses and not commercial.
