I live in an area that does allow homeowners to keep 2 chickens without a permit. If I wanted to get anymore I would have to go before the city council requesting a permit to do so. Plus, I would have to have the go ahead from every household that is within 200 feet from our home. There is a small fee involved with getting a permit.
Below I have listed the basic rules for keeping chickens in the cities located in the Twin Cities.
St. Paul:
You can have one hen without a permit. To have more than one you will need to get 80% of neighbors within 100 feet to say it is ok. You also will need to apply for a permit with the city. Roosters are not allowed. Submit your application to the St. Paul Animal Control Center within the Department of Safety and Inspections (651) 266-1100.
Minneapolis:
You must have a permit issued by Minneapolis Animal Care and Control. Written consent of at least 80% of your neighbors within 100 feet of your property is required. All permits issued shall expire on January 31 of the following year after its issuance unless sooner revoked. The application fee for such permit shall be fifty dollars ($50.00) which shall be paid at the time of application. The annual renewal fee thereafter for such permit shall be forty dollars ($40.00). Minneapolis Animal Care and Control will inspect the premise annually or as deemed necessary. The fee for a five-year permit will be one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00). All five-year permits issued shall expire on January 31 of the year following the fifth year after its issuance unless sooner revoked. Minneapolis Animal Care and Control will inspect the premise annually or as deemed necessary. The phone number for City Hall is 612-673-3000.
Robbinsdale:
It is unlawful to keep or maintain more than two chickens without a permit. The applicant must pay to the city clerk such initial permit fee and renewal permit fee as shall be established from time to time by council resolution. Upon submission of the initial application, the city clerk must set a date for a hearing on the application before the city council and must notify the owners of all properties located within 200 feet of the subject premises of the date and time of the hearing. In the handbook it states this; It is unlawful to keep or maintain roosters or bees, without first having obtained a permit therefor. I don’t know anyone who keeps a rooster. If you do, please let me know because it would be very cool to hear how it is going in the city. Main switchboard phone number at City Hall is 763-537-4534.
Golden Valley:
You can now keep chickens!
Saint Louis Park:
At this time St. Louis Park does not allow backyard chickens.
Osseo:
The city doesn’t talk about chickens in the bylaws. Right now you can have them as long as you aren’t being a nuisance. Don’t keep any roosters and you shouldn’t have a problem. The phone number for City Hall is 763-425-2624.
Maple Grove:
You can have backyard chickens within these guidelines: If you own 1- 1 1/2 acres you may keep up to 6 chickens. If you own 1 1/2 to 2 acres you may keep up to 25 chickens. That’s a lot of hens! The numbers keep going up for the number of acres you live on. Also, if you currently live in a zone that states it is zoned residential/agricultural you may keep chickens. However, there isn’t much zoned residential/agricultural in Maple Grove anymore. You need to contact the police station if you have questions regarding backyard chickens. That number is 763-494-6100.

catalog is a yearly traditions in many houses. My kids and I eagerly await
the Murray McMurray Hatchery catalog. We love looking at all the cool and
different chicken breeds available. Catalogs are free so head on over to

Typically hatcheries online offer both standard breeds
and bantams. Bantams are fun hardy little chickens, they lay tiny eggs
that kids especially love collecting. Bantams typically weigh less than 2
pounds when full grown. Just like ordering anything online there are pros
and cons to ordering baby chicks online. Pros of buying baby chicks in
Englewood Florida * Big Selection - If you are wanting a large
variety of different chicken breeds and egg colors, you will find the best
selection at an online hatchery. * Both Bantams and full sized chickens

Quantity - you must order a certain number of chicks. Typically hatcheries
will require you buy a minimum of 25 chicks at a time. The number is
necessary for the chicks survival during shipping. All 25 chicks are put
in one small box without heat. They are crowded in the box and produce
enough body heat to arrive in good shape. * The wait - If you choose to
buy chicks from a feed store you will have them the same day but if you
choose to go with a hatchery you have to wait until they are ready to ship
and then wait for the chicks to arrive. Ordering baby chicks online in
Englewood Florida is easy and has always been a very pleasant
experience of me. It can be a little frustrating waiting for the chicks
but it's so worth the wait. When the post office calls and you hear all
those little "cheeps" or "chirps" in the background you'll know the wait
was worth it! How to Care for your new baby chickens in Englewood,
Florida Baby chicks are quite
adorable as well as
challenging to withstand,
but it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by compiling not just the
correct materials, however
also the proper
expertise to care for
them. Raising baby chicks is relatively
easy, you just have to provide them with the following: A
clean as well as cozy
habitat Plenty of food as well
as water Focus and
love Environment Your habitat could be a
simple box, aquarium,
cat carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (without any loosened
strings!) to begin, as well as after a few weeks use straw over paper.
Keep in mind: Avoid utilizing only
newspaper or other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You likewise require
something to dish out food and also
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle container
lid for food and also a pet bird water dispenser from a
pet dog shop. Also, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
into the environment to get them
educated on setting down. Heat To
maintain your chicks warm you have to
give them with a warmth source.
This could be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design lamp from an equipment store, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb likewise function very
well (my
recommendation). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
changed with feathers (which could take up to 2 months). The recently
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and every week this could
be reduced by
roughly 5 levels or
so. The warmth resource need to be on simply one side of the cage
to permit chicks a variety of
temperatures. The chicks are your best
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
other corner of your heat
lamp, you have to
minimize the temperature level. If
they are surrounding each various other under the
heat (not just curling up),
you should add some heat.
House cleaning
Tidiness is essential and it keeps your chicks healthy and
balanced. Be sure to transform
the bed linen
frequently and also
always offer clean
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks grow quite quickly
which requires lots of tidy
food as well as water. Supply
enough whatsoever times and check
usually to
stop thirsty and also
starving chicks. Chick food is various than grown-up chicken food, as well as it is available in both medicated and
also non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first two months, then
switch over to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for an additional 2 months,
and afterwards to a somewhat
reduced protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to get a head start on taking
dirt baths, while others will not occupy that task up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to wash in.
Focus and also love There are a couple of advantages to spending time with your chicks. Firstly, they will probably bond with you and
not flee as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
see their behavior, you could
catch disease or various
other issues earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or
various other undesirable
signs. Make certain to
also check out
their poop, as diarrhea could lead
to matted plumes as well
as blocked cloaca.
Finally, it is important to watch out for social problems, such as the
littlest chick obtaining picked
on. Vacant nest disorder So your
chicks are currently totally feathery
as well as its time for them to leave the
safety of your home
and relocate outside into a
coop. Check out our
section on chicken coops to get more information
about cages as well as
correct coop habitats.
