Backyard Chicken Ordinance

After weeks of meetings and countless hours of debate, the Cheyenne City Council has decided to legalize backyard chickens.

Even if the Cheyenne City Council legalizes backyard chickens, many residents won't be able to have them.

Cheyenne City Council members continue to scratch out an ordinance that would allow residents to keep chickens in their backyards.

Cheyenne Mayor Rick Kaysen says there are too many unanswered questions about a proposal to allow city residents to keep chickens.

An ordinance that would allow Cheyenne residents to keep chickens in their backyards is receiving overwhelming support.
