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
Sebring 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

Baby Chicks Male Or Female in
Sebring, Florida
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
Sebring 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 Sebring,
Florida Baby chicks are very
charming and
challenging to resist,
but it's finest to prepare for their
arrival before you get them. Prepare initially
by gathering not just the
appropriate products, but
additionally the proper
knowledge to take care of
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
simple, you merely have to give them with the following: A
clean and warm
habitat A lot of food and also water Attention as well as
love Habitat Your habitat can be a straightforward box, fish tank,
feline service provider, or guinea
porker cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (with no loose
strings!) to start, and also after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using only
paper or other sandal
surface areas-- or your chicks legs can expand
misshapen. You also require
something to serve up food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and water
recipe from the feed store, or a pickle jar
lid for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from an animal shop. Also, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
educated on setting down. Heat To
keep your chicks heat you should
supply them with a warmth source.
This can be as simple as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
light bulb likewise work extremely well (my
suggestion). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which can occupy to two months). The newly
hatched out need a temperature
in between 90 and also 100 levels,
as well as weekly this can
be minimized by
around 5 degrees or
so. The warmth source should be on just one side of the cage
to allow chicks a range of
temperatures. The chicks are your finest
thermostat- if they are concealing in the
contrary corner of your warmth
light, you have to
decrease the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
warmth (not simply curling up),
you have to put some heat.
Home cleaning
Sanitation is vital and it maintains your chicks healthy. Make certain to alter
the bed linens
commonly as well as
consistently offer clean
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks expand quite quick
which requires plenty of clean
food and also water. Give
enough in any way times and also check
frequently to avoid thirsty and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is various compared
to adult chicken food, and it can be found in both medicated and
also non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
very first two months, after that
switch to a grower food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for another 2 months,
and afterwards to a somewhat
reduced healthy protein feed or a level feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to get a running start on taking
dirt bathrooms, while others will not take
up that task till they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
room, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to shower in.
Interest and also love There are a
few benefits to spending time with your chicks. To start
with, they will most
likely bond with you as well as
not run away as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
enjoy their habits, you could
catch illness or other troubles earlier. Keep an
eye out for hissing, hopping, or
other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
also look at
their poop, as diarrhea can result in matted feathers and clogged up cloaca.
Finally, it is necessary to look out
for social concerns, such as the
littlest chick getting badgered. Empty nest syndrome So your
chicks are currently totally feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
security of your house
and move outside right into a
coop. Have a look at our
section on chicken cages to learn more
regarding cages and also
correct coop habitats.
