Q4 Comment Responses - Describe any of your positive or negative <br />experiences with urban chickens? <br />19 / 81 <br />#IF YES, PLEASE DESCRIBE ANY OF YOUR POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES <br />WITH URBAN CHICKENS. <br />DATE <br />1 I know there are some in nb and Roseville on my standard walk routes. I honestly barely <br />notice. Not directly adjacent to my property and mostly invisible from the street. <br />11/5/2020 11:50 AM <br />2 We have known folks who kept chickens and loved it. We have known others who gave it up <br />because it is a BIG responsibility. Keeping the necessary space for the chickens clean takes <br />time. Providing the necessary fencing and other safety measures to help keep out predators <br />requires time and attention. We appreciated having neighbors with chickens but are well-aware <br />of the responsibilities. <br />11/5/2020 10:12 AM <br />3 Involves the family. Nice hobby since we are shelter=in=place because of our tyrannical ruling <br />class Gov Walz. <br />11/5/2020 9:19 AM <br />4 All positive. They provided an alternate food source, they eat mice, don’t make too much noise <br />and keep to themselves. <br />11/4/2020 10:38 PM <br />5 They provide food and the owners take good care of them.11/4/2020 9:43 PM <br />6 Family members keep chickens, which attacked each other one day, resulting in multiple dead <br />chickens. <br />11/4/2020 3:35 PM <br />7 I experienced no noise nor odor from chicken coup. I've not had problems with vermin being <br />attracted to the chicken coup nor the surrounding neighborhood. I know the owner/family count <br />on having the eggs for food and quality protein. <br />11/3/2020 11:09 PM <br />8 Neighbors sold there houses and moved out because of rooster noise, and lack of city council <br />doing anything about it . people were very frustrated, after all the complaints was there only <br />option <br />11/3/2020 7:00 PM <br />9 I had four chickens for a couple of years, they are not loud, they eat all the bugs in the vicinity. <br />And the fresh eggs are delicious. <br />11/3/2020 1:57 PM <br />10 they are noisy and the people that had them did not do a good job of keeping them on their <br />own property so the chickens roamed the neighborhood and pooped all over the place <br />11/2/2020 9:18 PM <br />11 I know multiple people who own chickens in suburbs and have never seen any issue. It's great <br />for fresh food, it's entertainment for children and adults. They are just like any other pet, <br />except you get a product from them as well. They aren't even louder compared to other pets so <br />I never could see why they are not allowed. <br />11/2/2020 3:41 PM <br />12 It was great! Easy, fun, economical, more sustainable, and brings emotional benefits as well <br />(each hen has their own personality to bond with, there is pride in caretaking, etc.) <br />11/2/2020 1:45 PM <br />13 Free eggs. Pleasurable to watch them peck and forage for food. They eat bugs.11/2/2020 9:02 AM <br />14 I am related to a farmer who raised chickens and I know the downside.11/1/2020 10:23 AM <br />15 The chickens wandered everywhere since there wasn't a fence around the yard. They would <br />cross the street, come into my yard and mess up all the mulch under my pine trees. Had they <br />stayed in their own yard, there would have been absolutely no problem. (No noise etc) <br />11/1/2020 8:12 AM <br />16 No harm. Very quiet.10/31/2020 9:29 AM <br />17 Two of my sons' and their families have kept chickens. They enjoyed the fresh eggs. Their <br />children learned more about where and how we get food. They only had two or three chickens <br />at a time so it was not obtrusive for their neighborhood. The birds were quite entertaining. <br />10/29/2020 1:04 PM <br />18 A co-worker of my has kept chickens within the Minneapolis city limits. They loved and cared <br />for their birds and had very positive experiences with the birds. Their neighbors also enjoyed <br />having the birds in their neighborhood and it brought them closer together as a community. <br />10/29/2020 10:58 AM <br />19 No issues 10/28/2020 10:35 PM <br />20 All neighbors visited and took care of chickens, great learning experience, healthy food, <br />teaching kids responsibility and where there food comes from. This was in a dense urban <br />neighborhood. <br />10/28/2020 1:00 PM <br />21 We have kept chicken in rural areas. Our current urban neighbors have chickens and they do <br />not contain their birds within their own property. The chickens roam around in our yard. It is <br />10/28/2020 11:12 AM
