R.B. Council leaves chicken, rabbit limits alone
By CHERYL BRINKLEY-.DN Staff Writer
RED BLUFF The Red Bluff City Council voted unanimously to keep the number of
hen chickens and rabbits as household pets to 12. A request had been to chop
the limit in half.
The council did, however, include the provision for fencing and enclosures.
The City Code now reads: "The noncommercial keeping of up to six small
animals such as dogs and cats per household, provided that not more than
three animals are dogs. Dogs or cats under the age of four months shall not
be counted when determining the total number of animals permitted.
Additionally, the keeping of up to 12 adult hen chickens (excluding
roosters) or similar poultry or 12 adult rabbits or similar animals per
household and any offspring less than six months of age is permitted. All
hen chickens or similar poultry or rabbits or similar animals shall be
contained within a fenced yard and housed outside in an enclosure that
conforms to the accessory structure standards, which shall be reviewed and
approved by the Planning Department."
The issue of the number of chickens or rabbits and their care was brought
before the planning commission and council in November and December by Ron
and Kathy Nelson because they were having problems with a neighbor's
chickens.
