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. ti hall so your attendanceevent that promises to Hars ne is greatly appreciated,be bigger and better.
