Boise Idaho Chicken Ordinance

This ordinance has recently been changed. One can now house 6 hens, still no roosters allowed, still no permit necessary, and still no coop restrictions (although you must have one). I don't know how to add/change the entry above, so I just thought I'd comment here. So if you live in Boise, go get yourself 3 new fuzzies!

I may be wrong on this but I think the reason we are not allowed to have a rooster is because they crow. Now it has recently occured to me that I have neighbors all around me with dogs that bark day and night and yet I cannot have a rooster because of the noise? I don't understand this.

I don't understand it either, ugh my neighbors across the street have some hound mix.... when I first heard it I thought some dog had been hit by a car, dog barks day and night, early am too. But no rooster, I think city law should override homeowners associations cause there are still a lot of people who don't check those, I'm not supposed to have em but our association is optional $25 a year and has been disbanded... I just bribe the neighbors with free eggs it helps

Does this ordinance override your HOA?
