Backyard chicken could soon be allowed in Chandler if city council approves new ordinance

A city in the East Valley could soon allow some of their residents to keep chickens in their backyard, if members of the city council approve it.

Proposed ordinance to allow backyard chickens in O'Hara scheduled for council consideration in January

A proposal to allow O’Hara Township residents to keep backyard chickens is now before O’Hara Council and is scheduled for consideration at its Jan. 3 meeting. Chickens have never been permitted on township residences under 5 acres. Allowing them on smaller properties has been on the radar for several years.
