Everyday Law: Backyard Chickens

2011-10-02T17:18:45Z

The keeping of chickens in urban residential settings is gaining popularity across the United States. Advocates of backyard chickens cite more nutritious and flavorful eggs, nitrogen-rich garden fertilizer, and natural pest control among the benefits of backyard chickens. Opponents worry about noise, odors, and the potential to spread diseases such as Salmonella and Avian Flu. The debate to legalize egg-laying chickens in residential areas is making its way to local governments throughout the country, with city councils trying to balance the health, safety and interests of both residents and chickens.

In August, after debating the issue for nearly two years, the Sacramento City Council approved an ordinance that will take effect November 1, 2011. The new law will allow residents within city limits to keep 3 hens (no roosters!), if they obtain the proper permits. Each household keeping hens will pay a $15 permit fee, plus a $10 annual license fee per hen.

Under the new law, hens must be confined in a coop or pen in the back yard, at least 20 feet from any house on an adjacent property, and must not create a noise disturbance audible on neighboring lots. Slaughter of these animals is prohibited on residential property. Animal control regulations (see page 10) require the coops to be between 15 and 42 square feet, adequately ventilated, and fenced on all sides and top. A separate nest box is required for each hen, but coops may have communal roosts, feed and water. Regulations also require owners to properly store chicken feed, and keep coops clean and free of offensive odors.

Keep in mind that this law applies only to residential properties within Sacramento city limits. Each city within Sacramento County may also have its own regulations about backyard chickens. Rancho Cordova and Galt (see 18.16.030) limit chickens to low-density residential zones, while Citrus Heights (see 106.42) requires a lot of 10,000 square feet. Elk Grove allows up to six hens, if kept at least forty feet from the property line, and Folsom allows a limited number of small animals or fowl on residential property. Unincorporated parts of Sacramento County are governed by county regulations, which prohibit chickens on lots smaller than 10,000 square feet. Residents with sufficiently large properties must obtain a conditional use permit in order to keep roosters or chickens.

The new Sacramento law does not go into effect until November 1, 2011. Until that time, chickens are still outlawed. It’s not too early to start looking into your options though. There are many websites available, such as http://www.backyardchickens.com/ and http://www.mypetchicken.com/ that provide information about selecting the best breed for your needs, building coops, and caring for your chickens. This information can help you decide if raising chickens is a good fit for you and your family.

City staff hatching chicken ordinance

2011-02-16T01:32:12Z

City staff will draft an ordinance that, if passed, will allow up to three egg-laying hens to be kept in backyards within city limits.

The Law and Legislation committee of the City Council gave the nod to city staff to draft the ordinance in a unanimous decision Tuesday.

City Councilman Steve Cohn, who walked out of a previous meeting to prevent the issue being shot down in a 3-1 vote, called Tuesday’s decision a victory, and said the ordinance should come to the full council for a vote within one or two months, where he expects it will pass.

“I was very pleased,” said Cohn, who has been advocating for allowing hens in city backyards for more than a year. “I don’t think we’ll have a problem at the full council, frankly.”

According to guidelines in the staff report, the ordinance will allow three hens per backyard, provided they are 30 feet from a neighboring residence. It will also ban roosters, which are largely responsible for noise complaints, and it will ban slaughtering.

I thought it was very positive,” said Joe Calavita, a member of the Campaign to Legalize Urban Chicken Farming (CLUCK). “This is the first time we’ve been able to move forward, and a unanimous decision is wonderful.”

He said the ordinance isn’t perfect, since he would like to see the allowance of more than three hens, and he sees a problem with the 30-foot requirement, but he said he hopes those details can be changed.

“My backyard is only 40 feet across,” he said, “so that part of it is a concern.”

The lone opponent of the ordinance’s drafting during the public comment session Tuesday – in which nine spoke in favor – was Charles Luce, a chemist who said he is concerned that allowing chickens in backyards will increase the risk of the H5N1 influenza strain, commonly referred to as Avian Flu.

“There’s a chance that people will die because of it,” he said after the meeting. “I think it’s a big mistake. Children have a 100 percent mortality rate for contracting H5N1.”

Dr. Glennah Trochet, public health official for Sacramento County, said Avian Flu has not been present in the western hemisphere, and she said experts she has consulted with in the California Department of Health and at University of California, Davis, told her the risk is minimal, and the disease cannot be passed from person to person.

“The health risks are largely to (chicken) owners,” she said, adding that risks involved include salmonella.

Those risks, however, can be eliminated through providing information and education on proper ways to raise chickens and hand-washing techniques, she said.

Councilwoman Sandy Sheedy, who was prepared to vote against the ordinance last November, said her concerns were that it not bring more costs to the city’s budget.

“We don’t need more deficits on the books,” she said.

Costs incurred by the city would be for enforcement, which would be overseen by animal control.

Animal Care Services Manager Penny Cistaro said the department already deals with complaints about illegal chickens, which cost about $30,000 per year. Responses to complaints would be handled within the department’s existing budget, she said.

Licensing fees would be part of the new ordinance, and they would amount to $15 per chicken, an amount that is equal to licensing of dogs.

If passed, the ordinance will come under City Council review six months and one year after it is enacted.

City eyes egg-laying hen costs

2011-02-14T19:40:15Z

Before you weigh in on either side of the great Sacramento chicken debate it’s worth considering the effort and cost that goes into the creation of a city poultry ordinance. The City’s Law and Legislation Committee will consider the costs and consequences of city chickens on February 15th, 3:00pm at New City Hall.

It’s apparently not free to analyze chickens. The City’s Staff Report to the Law and Legislation Committee calculated spending approximately 40 man hours at a cost of $4,000 on the research and review of the potential ordinance. Costs to develop and implement a permitting process are estimated in the range of $1,000.

Current nuisance enforcement is nothing to cluck at either. The city report estimates that the current annual cost for responding to calls and hard-boiled enforcement work related to chickens is about $30,250 based on 550 calls estimated at approximately one hour each at $55.00 per hour. The report estimates that costs will likely remain in a similar range if an ordinance allowing urban chickens is enacted. The city report states that other jurisdictions reported that they have not seen an increase in calls or problems associated with residents owning egg-laying hens.

There is some cash to be made from the hens. A $15.00 permit to have egg laying hens would be incorporated into the current pet licensing program. The annual administrative cost for the program would be approximately $1,500.00, but estimating 300 egg-laying hen licenses sold, the revenue potential would be $4,500.

Chicken advocates crow about backyard coops, “Hens are hilarious, green and a move to sustainability,” says Joan Goldie a resident of Tahoe Park. “They’re like little dinosaurs and can become quite affectionate pets. We owned several hens in San Andreas and had great egg production. It would be a good thing for the city.”

In general, a hen lays an egg every 24 hours and continues laying for about 3 years. Chickens are silent at night, but make mild noise during the day. Many hens will make a satisfied cluck as they lay.

Tuesday’s meeting will lay all the issues on the table. The city recommends a maximum of three chickens per household. Chickens must not be within thirty feet of any neighboring residence and the following elements need development for a potential ordinance:

• Prohibiting roosters
• Prohibiting slaughtering any chickens
• Enforcement will be complaint driven
• Requiring proper food storage to deter rodents
• Requiring a coop that is adequate in size for the number of chickens
• Requiring license fees

Whether or not to allow chickens in the city generates strong opinion on both sides of the debate. Some feathers will ruffle and others smooth if the city forges ahead with the micro coops.

Councilman walks out of chicken discussion

2010-11-17T02:14:52Z

The fate of chicken keeping in Sacramento is still undecided after Tuesday’s Law and Legislation Committee meeting when Councilman Steve Cohn walked out and prevented Sandy Sheedy and Lauren Hammond from voting down the ordinance advocated by CLUCK (Campaign to Legalize Urban Chicken Keeping).

Cohn was the only supportive voice on the committee. “What I’d like to do,” he said, “is allow more work to be done and have an actual ordinance be drafted.”

Hammond said, “I have never been enthusiastic about the idea.”

Cohn replied, “If you wanna kill it, kill it, but I’ll bring it back when you’re gone.”

This was a disappointing finale for CLUCK as supporters were left puzzled by Cohn’s abrupt departure and left wondering if their efforts had been wasted.

Members of CLUCK discussed principles they’d written for proper chicken keeping, which address health concerns, zoning plans, enforcement costs and license fees.

Reina Schwartz, director of the Sacramento's Department of General Services, said the cost of enforcement for proper chicken keeping would be about $30,000 annually.

“There is no evidence of how this will change if chicken keeping was made legal,” Schwartz said. “It will shift the nature of complaints, but not the volume.”

Sheedy, however, said she couldn’t understand how allowing chicken keeping wouldn’t make a difference in complaints if keeping were to be legalized and the backyard chicken population in Sacramento increased.

“We don’t have the staff to support this,” Sheedy said. “Our animal control staff is pushed to its limit already.”

Some residents agree.

“My neighbors have illegal chickens, and it’s a big problem,” said Todd Harlan. “When the wind blows, you smell them. When they fly up on the fence, the dogs get them.”

Those opposed to chicken keeping in Sacramento were concerned about avian flu, which Placerville veterinarian Jeanie Smith claimed was unwarranted.

“There are more deaths by traffic accidents in Sacramento annually than by avian flu worldwide,” she said. “There have been six historical outbreaks, and none in the western hemisphere.”

Community supporters encouraged the council to consider the educational benefits of teaching children how to raise animals for food. Some claimed chicken keeping would create an economic boost. Supporters said the same city ordinances used for cats and dogs could be applied to chickens.

“Sacramento is behind the times,” State Director of Pesticide Watch Paul Towers said, “and we urge Sacramento to see the value of backyard chickens.”

“Eight of the 10 Forbes ‘Most Livable Cities’ allow chicken keeping,” CLUCK supporter Joseph Calavita said. “All different kinds of communities already allow it.”

With no progress made by this meeting, members of CLUCK will have to wait until January to bring the ordinance back before the new council.

“It seems that enforcement is their biggest concern,” CLUCK member Susan Ballew said after the meeting was adjourned. “There just aren’t enough city resources.”

CLUCK presses for changes

2009-08-07T05:36:59Z

Sacramento gardening activists want to take urban agriculture to the next level and legalize raising chickens in your back yard.

"It's really been a hot topic lately," said Jaclyn Hopkins, volunteer coordinator for Environmental and Agricultural Taskforce Sacramento. "A lot of cities are changing their regulations to allow chicken-keeping, and Sacramento's on it's way."

EAT Sacramento and its partner group Campaign to Legalize Urban Chicken Keeping (CLUCK) were founded this year to advocate for more sustainable and organic gardening in the city. To promote the cause of backyard chicken coops, CLUCK will be hosting screenings of the indie documentary Mad City Chickens at the Guild Theatre Friday at 7:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., and again at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $5 and available at the door.

Mad City Chickens is equal parts entertainment and educational outreach. The film is an intelligent, sometimes-comic look at the relationships between city-dwelling humans and the chickens they raise, following the intersecting stories of various families, professionals and birds. The plot centers around the grassroots movement to legalize chicken-keeping in Madison City, Wisconsin, which successfully changed its city code in 2004. The film's two directors, Tashai Lovington and Robert Lughai, are on tour with the film and will host discussions after both screenings on Friday. They will have moved on to San Francisco by Sunday.

This screening is part of a concerted effort to change Sacramento law on behalf of the birds.

Under current city law, clucking, flightless egg-layers cannot be kept as pets due to an ordinance that bans the non-agricultural raising of any livestock. City laws for the city were changed to prohibit chickens in 1989. The same language that bans chickens also bans most other barnyard animals: horses, mules, sheep, goats, etc.

"It was part of a sweeping ban to make Sac look like a modern city," CLUCK coordinator Abbie Crouch said. "But nowadays, people want to get back in touch with their roots."

After researching the ban for months, EAT Sacramento is still unsure why city government chose to outlaw chickens specifically. Perhaps it was, as Crouch said, to solidify Sacramento's development from a 'cow town' to a metropolitan urban center. Alternatively, it could also have been intended to deal with occasional complaints about noise, odor or chicken mistreatment.

Whatever the case, the ban hasn't stuck. Rogue Sacramento chicken-keepers still hatch, feed, house and learn to love their feathered friends in spite of the law.

"There's a surprisingly large chicken underground, "Crouch said. "A lot of people don't mind breaking the law." CLUCK estimates there are hundreds of backyard chickens in the city.

It's legal to raise chickens most anywhere else in California. San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Jose have all okayed backyard cooping, as have our neighbors in Roseville, Oakland and (of course) Davis.

Sacramento County code allows anyone to raise chickens as long as they have a yard larger than 10,000 square feet, which closes off most city residents but allows folks in Fair Oaks to raise chickens with much gusto.

Regulations usually place a cap on maximum number of chickens (about four to six per family) and add that chickens must be kept at least 20, 25, or 40 feet from neighboring structures. Los Angeles has no limits on how many hens one family can raise. Hens are tranquil, quiet and well-mannered, but their boyfriends can present a problem. Roosters are almost never legal, as they tend to pick fights and crow at godawful times of the day, and even after all that they don't contribute anything toward egg-laying. Slaughtering chickens is also illegal almost everywhere, as some serious health concerns start to enter the picture.

If chickens could talk, they'd be vocal supporters of backyard raising. Animal rights activists brought new attention to the relative brutality of factory farm conditions with the passage of Proposition 2 in the 2008 general election. Prop. 2 will require significant improvements in animal treatment for California meat and poultry industries in 2015. Those improvements reveal how constrictive factory cages are; Prop 2's requirements were simply for animals to have enough space to stand up and turn around.

Comparatively, backyard chickens have massive coops and a great deal more TLC. "Backyard chickens tend to live pretty sweet lives," Hopkins said.

It doesn't take much to really spoil a chicken. A little space to scratch around, a comfy enclosure for laying, feed to peck at, and as a treat, some grass to gobble from time to time. These are simple pleasures that anyone with a backyard can provide.

"Everybody could raise a chicken or two," Crouch said "They're easier to take care of than more conventional pets like dogs."

Raising chickens can enhance life for you and your chicken, according to new scientific studies. Chickens get an easy, comfortable living and you get fresh eggs that knock out the supermarket in terms of quality. Two recent Penn State studies have shown that free-range hens produce healthier eggs, richer in nutrients and Omega-3 fats, and studies of a less-academic nature have confirmed that free-range eggs taste terrific.

Crouch said that chickens can make great pets, too. "Not only do you get delicious food, you get some evening entertainment."

Even though they may have brains more like dinosaurs than like cats or dogs or hamsters, chickens can be a kind of companion animal. Chickens can hop on your lap and get friendly, and they generally like being petted. "And it sounds silly, but you can have a beer on the porch and watch your chickens be cute and do stupid stuff in your back yard," Crouch said.

Legalizing and regulating chicken culture in Sacramento would have benefits across the board, CLUCK members surmise. Documenting the number of chickens in the city is one perk, and increased attention could also allow for better disease control or donation of deceased chickens to local colleges.

"When we talk to city council, we usually keep things loose to allow for the development of regulations," said Hopkins. At present, CLUCK is looking at a six chicken maximum and a mandatory distance between coop and home.

The eggs of reform are incubating, according to EAT and CLUCK representatives.

"It's now just a matter of when," Hopkins said.
