Kane Residents Hope To Loosen Local Ordinance, Make It Easier To Own Backyard Chickens

Amid high egg prices and a rising interest in raising backyard chickens, a group of Kane residents are asking the borough to loosen its small animal ordinance.

Currently, Kane residents must keep small animals, such as chickens, in an enclosure at least 25 feet away from any neighbor's property line.

Borough leaders will host another discussion on its small animal ordinance at their work session, Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the borough office.
