Do you think people should be allowed to keep chickens in the city as long as roosters are not allowed? The issue could come up during tonight's South Bend Common Council meeting.
Last month the city's planning commission advanced a proposal with a recommendation of approval...that would allow people in South Bend to raise chickens.
Under the proposed ordinance a $20 permit would let homeowners in the city keep up to six hens.
A volunteer "chicken police" would help make sure people are taking proper care of their birds and not disturbing neighbors.
Tonight is a first reading, so a decision is not expected.
