Bac kyard Chic kens Survey 16 / 81 3,136 animals , overwhelmingly birds, and in no way hav e we been able to help them all. To date we hav e resc ued 1, 189 c hic k ens and other "farm" species abandoned in the Metro Area. 164 they s hould be allowed 10/12/2020 2:54 PM 165 They should be allowed if properly maintained.10/12/2020 11:16 AM 166 I am not oppos ed to c hic k ens - but it should be noted that keeping chic k ens will inc reas e the number of wildlife in neighborhoods . Fox at minimum. 10/12/2020 9:17 AM 167 Chickens belong on farms . Yards are t oo c lose together f or chickens which are a nuis ance.10/7/2020 3:30 PM 168 I think lay ing hens should be allowed. I can't believe you only hav e t hese options for answers . It's very leading, whic h projec ts bias. 10/7/2020 10:21 AM 169 I don’t think t here is a reason if the chickens are c ared f or responsibly.10/7/2020 8:17 AM 170 Real es tate values will go down and we t he homeowners have no c ontrol ov er it. Most people do NOT want to liv e by c hickens (they are nois y and stink !) and it will s top many buyers from wanting to liv e nex t to s omeone with c hic k ens . Or the home price will have to be reduc ed. Mos t people will not put the c hickens up by their own homes, t hey will put the coop.at the back of t heir property, which is right next to another property. If allowed, they should have to hav e the coop wit hin 5 feet of their own hous e. Also, we hav e s mall pet s and already have to worry about c oy otes . Hav ing chic k ens on the neighboring property will attrac t even MORE coyot es and hearing the poor chic kens squak while being k illed is not what I want to hear at night. J ust vote NO to c hickens and keep t hem in the country where they belong. 10/6/2020 11:36 PM 171 N/a 10/6/2020 9:07 PM 172 I think they SHOULD be allowed!10/6/2020 8:02 PM 173 None 10/6/2020 5:53 PM 174 Mov e out of the city if y ou want to raise farm animals .10/6/2020 4:59 PM 175 Is pos s ible there would be noise but usually roost ers are not allowed in urban bac kyard chic k en c oops 10/6/2020 10:45 AM 176 Chickens are not appropriat e for a suburban env ironment.

Adding chic k ens to the equation inc reas es the food source for coyotes and als o threatening my pet . There is a reas ons we live in the city and not in the country.
