AN ACT relating to keeping chickens on residential property.

This bill would allow people living in Kentucky cities to keep up to six chickens on residential property. It creates a new definition for "backyard chickens" and sets requirements that residents would need to follow. Currently, many city residents may be prohibited from keeping chickens under local rules, so this would establish a statewide baseline allowing the practice. Who it may affect: city residents and homeowners who want to keep backyard chickens.
