The issue of allowing backyard chickens once again came before the New Richland City Council at its latest meeting. Council memberts have been debating the possibility of putting in a new city ordinance that would allow residents to have chickens in their yard. Currently, the city only allows for chickens to be raised in the agricultural section of town. Ultimately, the council decided to let the motion “die,” and there was no clear vote to deny the ordinance.
