Five hens. No egg or meat sales. A $100 permit fee.
Thatâs all part of Chaskaâs proposed draft ordinance, a move that would allow homeowners to keep chickens in the city if approved.
After a July work session and voted-down move several years ago, whether to allow backyard hens in Chaska is back on the table. The proposed draft ordinance, available on the cityâs website, includes prohibiting roosters, confining chickens to an enclosed area, and removing animal waste every week.

Also required in the draft ordinance, which Chaskans can submit comments to until Dec. 18, is keeping food enclosed and that all chicken-owners live on a single-family or zoned property.
