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.

Daisy, Oklahoma
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
Daisy Oklahoma 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 Daisy,
Oklahoma Baby chicks are quite
charming as well as
challenging to stand up to,
but it's finest to prepare for their
arrival prior to you get them. Prepare initially
by compiling not just the
proper products, but
additionally the correct
expertise to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is fairly
straightforward, you simply need
to provide them with the following: A
clean and cozy
habitat Lots of food and also water Interest and also
love Environment Your habitat can be a basic box, aquarium,
pet cat provider, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels as well as
coverings (with no loose
strings!) to begin, as well as after a
couple of weeks make use of straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using just
newspaper or other slipper
surface areas-- or your chicks legs could grow
misshapen. You also need
something to dish out food and
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container
cover for food and also an animal bird water dispenser from a
pet dog store. Additionally, as the chicks get
older you can present a perch
right into the habitat to obtain them
educated on perching. Warmth To
keep your chicks heat you need to
supply them with a heat source.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware shop, or an infrared reptile warmth
bulb also work effectively (my
suggestion). Chicks need this
heat 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with feathers (which can take up to 2 months). The freshly
hatched require a temperature level
in between 90 and also 100 degrees,
and also every week this could
be decreased by
approximately 5 degrees approximately. The warmth source ought
to be on simply one side of the cage
to enable chicks a range of
temperature levels. The chicks are your ideal
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
contrary edge of your heat
light, you have to
minimize the temperature. If
they are smothering each various other under the
heat (not merely cuddling),
you have to put some heat.
Home cleaning
Sanitation is essential as
well as it maintains your chicks healthy. Make certain to transform
the bedding
commonly and also
constantly offer clean
food as well as water Food and water.
Chicks grow extremely fast
which requires lots of clean
food and water. Offer
enough in any way times as well
as inspect
frequently to prevent parched and also
starving chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and also it is available in both medicated and
also non-medicated selections. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, after that
switch to a raiser food (~ 17 %
healthy protein) for one more 2 months,
and then to a slightly
reduced protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Soil Some chicks like to get a running start on taking
filth baths, while others will not use up that task up until they are
older. If you have the area in your chick
enclosure, introduce a tray of sand or
filth for them to wash in.
Attention as well as love There are a
few benefits to spending time with your chicks. To start
with, they will certainly most
likely bond with you and
not escape as grownups. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and also
see their habits, you can
catch illness or other issues previously. Keep an
eye out for wheezing, hopping, or
various other undesirable
indicators. Be sure to
likewise consider
their poop, as diarrhea can result in matted feathers as well
as blocked cloaca.
Last but not least, it is essential to watch out for social problems, such as the
tiniest chick getting teased. Vacant nest syndrome So your
chicks are now fully feathery
and also its time for them to leave the
security of your residence
and also move outside into a
coop. Check out our
section on chicken cages for more information
concerning cages and
appropriate cage habitats.
