Was wondering about the comment for Cranston RI--I heard two was the maximum, has it changed? Also, do we need a permit?

Actually in Canby you need a permit and can’t keep roosters, otherwise as long as you don’t get a noise complaint you can keep chickens.

Not sure when this was written but the info for Pittsburgh is incorrect. You are allowed to have chickens but a permit is required, min of 2000sq feet for up to 5 chickens. I believe if you have a larger lot more chickens are allowed.

Is this correct, in Cranston Rhode Island we are allowed maximum of 6 birds. Thank you, Bounvily Kue

Are roosters allowed in Newport Oregon? I don't find it on the legal list.

If the county/city i live in is not listed under Counties and Cities in Oregon that Allow the Keeping of Chickens does this mean chickens are not allowed in my area?

While house-hunting my partner and I have found these errors in the listings posted above. Canby, OR city ordinance requires an annual small animal permit, and consent of neighbors, to keep chickens within city limits. Coos bay, OR allows only up to 4 chickens in city limits without a permit. Lebanon, OR municipal code states, "One hen (no roosters) shall be permitted per two thousand square feet of lot or parcel area, up to a maximum of six hens." Philomath, Oregon municipal code states that, "Any person desiring to keep any such animal shall submit to the city manager an application for a permit, accompanied by written evidence that three-fourths of the adjoining property owners or residents within a 200-foot radius from the site where the applicant proposes to keep said animals do consent to the keeping of such animals."
