Ubuntu Green Supports Sacramento City Ordinance To Allow Backyard Chickens
Ubuntu Green Supports Sacramento City Ordinance To Allow Backyard Chickens
As you begin to consider language for a backyard chicken law, we support these
principles:
2. Owners can keep a limited number of chickens. City residents cannot have
more than 7 cats, so it is reasonable to use these numbers as guidelines.
4. Chickens are prohibited from leaving the owner’s premises. City law
already prohibits animals from being off the premises of its owner, so the same law
should apply to chickens.
7. As City Code already notes, chicken owners must provide proper food,
water, care, shelter, and medical or veterinarian attention. City law already
requires this for other animals and chickens should also be included.
Sincerely,
