Backyard Chicken Advocates Make Their Case In Rapid City

The Rapid City Hens is a group determined to realize the dream of allowing chickens in back yards within city limits. It’s trendy in other cities, including Seattle and Minneapolis. Sioux Falls allows it. Pierre is considering it. But the Rapid City Council has said that city ordinance won’t change unless the Hens first convince other urban residents that it is okay to live next door to a chicken coop.
