Seagoville, Texas is a chicken friendly city.

Here is the local ordinance as to what you can have within the city limits.


Sec. 5.01.008 Area and distance requirements for keeping livestock and fowl

It shall be unlawful for any person within the corporate limits of the city with less than one (1) fenced acre of accessible roaming space to keep or have, on his own or rented premises, any livestock, including cows, horses, mules, jacks, jennies, goats, sheep, or chickens or other poultry; provided, however, that, for each acre of property, an owner shall be permitted to keep a unit of livestock, consisting of a mother and offspring under the age of six (6) months, or up to twenty (20) chickens or other poultry; and provided further that, in all cases, such livestock or poultry shall be kept at a distance further than one hundred (100) feet from the nearest private residence building or public building. (1977 Code, sec. 4-5)



Just thought that I would let LORE know about this little city.

Add City of Sacramento to the list! Hens only and with conditions. The exact ordinance has yet to be published, but our City Council voted for the keeping of backyard hens in Sacramento effective November 1, 2011.
Yah!! It's a start at least!

Sacramento allows chickens. You can see their LORE entry here :

FOLKS---if your city is not in the LORE database, feel free to submit your city, provided you have a direct link to the code itself. PDFs and Pics are NOT allowed.

IF your city is already in the LORE Database, then DO NOT re-enter the city. It makes the system hiccup and is a pain to fix. If you see a city that needs a change---holler at me. I will get it.

I searched L.O.R.E and didn't see Kaysville UT.
http://www.kaysvillecity.com/code.main.html
Title 17 chapter 24.
Lot size must be 8,000 sq ft or larger. One animal per 1,600 sq ft.

I hope this is the format you are looking for.

I live in Mystic Ct, on the Groton side and hope to get a few layers, however I'm not sure of the legality of this plan, zoning has yet to call back... Does anyone know Grotons stance on backyard chickens?
