POTSDAM â Without comment, the Village Board of Trustees approved an ordinance that allows village residents to keep chickens.
A similar ordinance failed in 2011. Another in July of 2020 was rejected and sent back to the planning board to be simplified.
There are a number of provisions to the ordinance that was passed Monday afternoon.
No more than six chickens will be allowed for each property, renters must have authorization from property owners, coops or cages must be at least 25 feet from neighborsâ doors and windows and five feet from property lines, and hens must be in a coop or cage that has adequate protection from weather and predators.
