Bac kyard Chic kens Survey 14 / 81 among neighbors. 111 Safety and c are of chickens is neglected by people who s imply want a hobby.10/15/2020 4:00 PM 112 none of t he above apply - pleas e see my prev ious statement 10/15/2020 3:58 PM 113 smell 10/15/2020 3:36 PM 114 ban roos ters and Im fine with it 10/15/2020 3:22 PM 115 Just another way in which some owners of animals that can't or won't leash pets & would allow chic k ens to roam and do their "bus iness " on people's property other than their own. Leaving someone els e and not the owners t o c lean up after them. Also, nature ty pe animals suc h as deer, rabbits, wild turk eys, racoons and gees e are enough. Eggs are quit e inexpens ive at the groc ery stores. 10/15/2020 2:19 PM 116 I do not s ee a negativ e 10/15/2020 1:49 PM 117 They would create is s ues between neighbors 10/15/2020 11:52 AM 118 our lots are not t hat large; the c hicken coops would be too close to t he lot lines 10/15/2020 11:00 AM 119 There is very little compliance in our neighborhood regarding leash laws for dogs . Most dogs are off leash on neighborhood s treets and on the trails as well. I don't hav e much fait h that chic k en ordinances would be followed any more clos ely. Sad, but true. 10/15/2020 10:32 AM 120 No reason 10/15/2020 9:37 AM 121 I think they s hould be allowed 10/15/2020 7:18 AM 122 None 10/15/2020 6:33 AM 123 no c oncerns 10/15/2020 5:14 AM 124 We hav e domes tic ated, licensed pets that would be at greater risk of predat ors with the attraction of chickens . If res idents want farm t o fork proteins or produce, there are plenty of hobby farms, farmers mark ets and whole food distributors in t he metro area. If k ids want experienc e with c aring of farm animals, explore options at the U, t he Gilbert Farm or Dodge Nature Center. 10/14/2020 10:56 PM 125 If allowed to run wild they would get into neighbors yards. They might att rac t fox , rac coons and other predators . 10/14/2020 9:57 PM 126 NA - I want c hic k ens!10/14/2020 9:25 PM 127 I think they s hould be allowed.10/14/2020 9:12 PM 128 Chicken coops can get v ery dirt y if not c leaned. Many people hav e wonderful ideas about keeping c hickens but have no idea about the t rue care & commitment they c an be. My concern about hav ing chic k ens in a urban area would be 1) coyotes & fox es c oming into y ard that aren't fully fenc ed & then people complaining about coyotes trying to eat their chic k ens or dogs. Coyot es & fox es are wild & jus t trying to surviv e -- we've encroached on their habitat and now raising c hic k ens to entice them 2) roos ters -- c ode would hav e to s pell out absolutely no roos ters 3) What will people do with the chickens once they no longer lay eggs? Many people who wnat to rais e c hickens are s eem to think they would another family pet & wouldn not eat them (lik e this farm girl did). How many chickens can one keep or will people violate this with too many chic k ens in their c oop? 10/14/2020 8:28 PM 129 I don't see any of t he above as s erious concerns for anyone who has invest ed time and money in raising c hick ens , espec ially when t here are appropriat e guidelines outlined by the city. 10/14/2020 7:00 PM 130 Dec rease value of surrounding property, decrease ability to sell s urrounding property 10/14/2020 6:47 PM 131 If y ou want to raise chic k ens, live on land des ignated or zoned as farmland.10/14/2020 6:26 PM 132 Odors 10/14/2020 6:21 PM 133 There is no reas on 10/14/2020 6:20 PM 134 I am not against.10/14/2020 6:09 PM 135 We moved t o Arden Hills Nov ember 2019 to get away from this in St. Paul.
