Las Vegas approves urban chicken-keeping

Las Vegans may now keep up to 10 chickens in the yard of a single family home as long as their neighbors approve. Residents can keep hens for their eggs, but cannot breed the animals for sale or slaughter. Chickens are required to be kept in a fenced-in area with a run, and coops can’t be located any closer than 20 feet from their neighbors’ homes. Each adjacent property owner to the land where the chickens will be kept must provide their written consent. Some residents approached Councilman Bob Coffin about keeping chickens, and he sponsored the ordinance by request.
