(A) Intent. It is the intent of this section that persons within the town be permitted to keep chickens or other domestic fowl for personal consumption of eggs.
(B) Number and type limited. A maximum of four domestic chicken or other fowl hens may be allowed on a single-family lot within residential zoning districts only. Roosters are prohibited.
(C) Coop required. All fowl must be kept in a secure enclosure (a “coop”) during non-daylight hours. The coop must be appropriately sized for the number and type of hens. Coops must be kept in a neat and sanitary condition at all times and must be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent offensive odors. During daylight hours, chickens may be located in a pen. Chickens are not permitted to roam freely in such a manner that they are able to leave the premises of the owner. Coops and pens must be located within the rear or side yard and must meet the minimum setback requirements for accessory buildings within the zoning district.
(D) Feed stock storage. Feed stock shall be stored in a sealed container that is secure against invasion by rodents and other animals.
