Chickens in Boone

BOONE, Iowa---By City Code, Boone residents can have chickens in the city limits, but there are limits on how many. In a letter to be considered by the City Council Monday, Rick Daniels says he was told he could have six chickens per 11,000 square feet of property. Three months later he was told he needed a half acre for four chickens. Daniels is seeking a variance from the City Council to keep his chickens.
