Backyard chicken advocates take up the cause in Iowa City | GazetteOnline.com – Cedar Rapids, Iowa City
An effort is under way to change Iowa City law to allow residents to keep chickens in their backyards.
Iowa City resident Stacey Driscoll started an online petition Tuesday calling on the city to allow people to keep up to five hens, no roosters, in residential areas.
The self-described avid backyard gardener said she’d heard of people in other urban areas raising chickens and wanted to do the same here to get fresh eggs but soon discovered she could not.
