Durango CO City Ordinance on Chicken Tractor structures

ORDINANCE NO. 0-2009-23

(4) Chicken hens kept within the City must be provided with a covered enclosure. It is required that such enclosures be predator-resistant, properly ventilated, easily accessed for cleaning and maintenance, and provide not less than 2 square feet per chicken to be kept in such enclosure.

(5) During daylight hours, chicken hens must be provided access to the sun, the covered enclosure, and also have access to an outside enclosure that is adequately fenced to prevent the escape of the chickens and to provide protection from predators.

(6) The chickens must be placed in the covered enclosure between the hours of dusk and dawn to provide protection from predators.

(7) Neither the covered enclosure nor the outside enclosure may be located less than 15 feet from an abutting property line or 30 feet from an inhabited dwelling unit on abutting property, whichever is greater. Variances from these distance requirements shall require written consent from the owner(s) of affected abutting properties.

(9) The chicken hens must be sheltered or confined in such fashion as to prevent them from coming into contact with wild ducks or geese, or their excrement.
