Chick ordinance under review

City Administrator Carl Thompson reported to the city council Monday night he has received responses from four other towns on their ordinances involving keeping of chickens in the city. Colfax has been asked to revise its ordinance to allow for raising chickens inside the city limits.

The city now allows chickens only in the new rural residential zone which was added along the N. Fork of the Palouse River for Redtail Ridge and other proposed developments in the area.
