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.

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
Iron Belt Wisconsin 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 Iron Belt,
Wisconsin Baby chicks are quite
charming and
difficult to resist,
yet it's ideal to prepare for their
arrival prior to you obtain them. Prepare initially
by compiling not just the
appropriate materials, yet
also the proper
understanding to look after
them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably
straightforward, you simply should provide them with the following: A
clean and also warm and comfortable
habitat Lots of food and water Attention and also
love Habitat Your habitat can be a straightforward box, aquarium,
feline carrier, or guinea
pig cage. Line it with old towels and
blankets (without loose
strings!) to start, and also after a few weeks utilize straw over paper.
Note: Avoid using only
paper or various other sandal
surfaces-- or your chicks legs could expand
malformed. You likewise require
something to dish out food as well as
water in, such as a chicken feeder and also water
dish from the feed shop, or a pickle container
lid for food as well as a pet dog bird water dispenser from a family pet shop. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you can present a perch
into the habitat to obtain them
educated on perching. Warmth To
maintain your chicks warm you should
give them with a warmth source.
This could be as straightforward as a 100 watt
light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a
hardware store, or an infrared reptile heat
bulb additionally function effectively (my
referral). Chicks require this
warmth 24/7 up until their downy fluff is
replaced with plumes (which can occupy to two months). The freshly
hatched out require a temperature
in between 90 and 100 levels,
and every week this could
be lowered by
roughly 5 levels approximately. The warmth resource must be on just one side of the cage
to enable chicks an array of
temperatures. The chicks are your ideal
thermometer- if they are concealing in the
contrary edge of your heat
light, you have to
lower the temperature. If
they are smothering each other under the
warmth (not just curling up),
you have to include some warmth.
House cleaning
Sanitation is vital and also it keeps your chicks healthy. Make sure to alter
the bed linen
frequently and also
constantly provide clean
food and water Food and water.
Chicks expand extremely fast
which calls for lots of tidy
food and water. Offer
sufficient whatsoever times as well
as inspect
often to avoid dehydrated and also
hungry chicks. Chick food is different than adult chicken food, and also it is available in both medicated as well as non-medicated varieties. Feed chick food for the
first 2 months, after that
change to a raiser food (~ 17 %
protein) for another 2 months,
and afterwards to a slightly
reduced healthy protein feed or a layer feed
(if you have levels). Dirt Some chicks like to obtain a running start on taking
dirt baths, while others won't use up that activity up until they are
older. If you have the space in your chick
unit, introduce a tray of sand or
dust for them to bathe in.
Interest as well as love There are a couple of benefits to spending time with your chicks. First off, they will certainly most
likely bond with you as well as
not run away as adults. Second, if you
analyze your chicks daily and
watch their behavior, you could
catch health problem or other troubles previously. Watch out for wheezing, limping, or
various other undesirable
indicators. Make certain to
additionally consider
their poop, as diarrhea can cause matted plumes and stopped up cloaca.
Last but not least, it is very
important to keep an eye out for social concerns, such as the
tiniest chick obtaining picked
on. Empty nest disorder So your
chicks are currently completely feathered
and its time for them to leave the
safety and security of your house
and move outside right into a
coop. Look into our
part on chicken coops to read more
about coops and
proper cage habitats.
