PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city is closer to having an affordable fee for chicken keeping. On Monday, the Ordinances and Rules subcommittee supported a drafted ordinance that brings the cost of keeping six chickens from more than $500 to $25. 

The ordinance takes the process out of the Zoning Board of Appeals purview and requires a license similar to that of a dog. "We've really come a long way from having to have a cost of around $500 to get chickens where this will bring it to a more equitable opportunity for anyone in the City of Pittsfield who meets the setback guidelines," Councilor at Large Peter White said. "And those setback guidelines will be very similar to what would have been approved, to begin with, in the permit that is currently in place right now."
