Keeping backyard chickens
A~ell across America there has been a
newed interest in keeping a small
ock of chickens in backyards. My
niece lives in urban Philadelphia and she
and her roommates tend chickens and sell
the eggs to their neighbors.
Those interested in eating locally have
become increasingly interested in growing
their own food, which includes gardens as
well as poultry. Many municipalities either
already have or are in the process of draw-
ing up regulations for keeping chickens in
the urban environment.
In the City of Shelton, Erik Birk is the
Code Enforcement Officer. He was happy
to share with me details of codes that per-
tain to keeping backyard fowl. On a typi-
cal city lot (60-feet-by-100-feet) a family
can keep four to five hens as long as they
live in a confined, sanitary area. Because
of noise, roosters have been defined as a
public nuisance due to the repetitive crow-
ing at all hours of the day. It is not legal to
keep roosters on city lots. Regulations may
be different than these if you live within
a community that has its own covenants.
In Mason County there are no restrictions
regarding backyard fowl, but planner Al-
lan Borden reminds us to be careful that
structures are not placed within 20 feet of
the back property line and 10- to 20-feet
of a side property line. Please be careful
of streams and wetlands. Chicken waste
should not reach these Waterways.
Gardeners can attest to the benefits
of keeping chickens if they are well man-
aged. Some keep birds in portable chicken
coops or "chicken tractors" that they move
around the yard cleaning out weeds, gob-
bling up insects, and leaving a rich trail of
fertilizer on the freshly
tilled ground -- fueled in
part by kitchen scraps.
A chicken produces
about 4 ounces of manure
per day. High in am-
monia, this manure can
burn plants if it is ap-
plied directly to planting
By JEANNE beds, so you need to pro-
cess it in some way first.
REHWALDT Remember to wear gloves
if you're handling fresh
chicken manure, as it can harbor viruses,
worm eggs or bacteria.
USDA organic standards require 120
days between the addition of raw (uncom-
posted) manure and the harvest of a crop
whose edible portion has contact with the
soil and 90 days before harvest for crops
without direct contact.
The Mason Conservation District has
a program that allows residents to rent
chicken processing equipment. This en-
ables chicken owners to process the birds
once they stop producing eggs making way
for a new crop of chicks to start laying
anew.
