Council to consider rooster ban, chicken restrictions

~ William Kropog

Ordinance 24-06 would outlaw roosters

Limit most to 6 hens

No front-yard coops or free-roaming fowl

MANDEVILLE — The City Council will consider a ban on roosters and limiting the number of chickens any single-family dwelling can keep to just six, along with other changes to city code relating to fowl and rabbits, according to a proposal being offered by lame duck Councilman at Large Rick Danielson.

Ordinance 24-06 — up for consideration at the April 11th regular council meeting — would also ban coops and cages from front yards as well as make it illegal to allow chickens to roam freely.

The ordinance does not address enforcement or whether there will be a grace or “grandfather” period.

One thought on “Council to consider rooster ban, chicken restrictions”

  1. Should be entertaining conversation. I saw no prohibition against peacocks which are very loud. I guess they are considered a higher class breed of fowl.
