Richardson council to consider chicken limit To enhance Richardson’s animal regulations and make staff enforcement more straightforward, city staff proposed several new sections and updates. City officials presented the changes, which will be voted on at a future meeting, to Richardson City Council during the July 22 meeting. What you need to know According to city documents, there was a need to improve staff’s legal authority, better serve the community and address animal-related issues, and clarify the city’s ordinance. One of the new regulations proposed is a maximum number of chickens, eight, that can be kept by property owners and banning roosters. Council members directed city staff to increase the limit from six after several residents claimed the cap was too restrictive.

Digging deeper City Manager Don Magner said state law requires that cities allow at least six chickens to be kept by property owners, but maximums can be implemented by individual municipalities. The new regulations are meant to bring the city into compliance with state law. Jammal added that the new regulations will help maintain the integrity of neighborhoods by establishing requirements for coops and creating basic sanitary requirements for areas where the animals are kept.
