Chesapeake Extends Rules on Backyard Chickens

City of Chesapeake
“Small flocks of chickens will continue to be welcome in residential neighborhoods. The City Council voted Tuesday to make permanent an ordinance it adopted a year ago allowing residents to keep up to six hens, but no roosters, in backyard enclosures. Without the action, the ordinance would have expired Dec. 20. The 6-3 vote followed a public hearing dominated by proponents who described chickens as ‘great pets’ and ‘good neighbors’ who cause few of the problems of more traditional family pets.”
