OKC Urban Chicken Ordinance

[oklip955]

Folks need to buy pullets not straight run. Even with pullets sometimes you get roos. There are people out in the country that take in extra roos. Why because they let them roam their acreage during the day and eat the ticks and other bugs. Our Edmond chicken group has so far been able to find homes for extra roos. One was living at Wataburger or at least in the area and was going there to eat. One person in the group was able to catch him and rehome him to their place.

Except folks still have roosters, I hear them all the time when riding through neighborhoods

If they have a rooster in an area that they are not supposed to, then you can call that in. But the rules have changed over the years, so it's entirely possible that on one side of a fence, they were allowed and on the other, you are not. It has a lot to do with how developments formed around areas over the decades.

But with the new ordinance, isn't *all* of OKC covered by it and nobody can have roosters at all within city limits?

[oklip955]

It depends on the size of the lot. Edmond no roosters under 5 ac lots. Over 5 ac is fine. It would be ridiculous to prohibit them one someones 160 ac in city limits and the land is used for cattle etc.

Pretty sure the current changes are only applicable to people with under 1ac lots. The 1+ac lot regulations are in a different section.
