Boise City Code

Boise municipal code allows chickens to be classified as pets rather than livestock when there are three or fewer hens (no roosters allowed, hens do not need roosters to lay eggs) on a property.

On lots of one acre or greater, Boise code permits livestock as long as half of the land is dedicated to keeping and raising the livestock. Property owners are allowed 12 chickens per half acre.

New Coop



The new coop is nearly finished! I started installing cedar on the interior walls last night while the girls were busy exploring the backyard. If the weather cooperates this week, I will try to finish up the inside and maybe work on the run this weekend.
