Anyone with a backyard in the city of Bakersfield can raise up to eight hens, the city council decided Wednesday.
The council voted 4-3 to approve an ordinance. Residents can now raise four hens with 10 feet of distance from another residential building, five to 6 hens with a 12-foot gap and seven or eight hens with a 20-foot gap.
