College Station city councilmembers will consider reducing the distance that is required for chickens to live in residential areas.

That follows a request during the January 14 meeting from Lorraine Madewell, who lives between Anderson Park and Oakwood intermediate school.

Madewell says Bryan and Austin require a minimum 50 feet from a neighbor’s property line. College Station requires at least 100 feet.

There was no opposition to councilman John Nichols’s request to review the ordinance at a future meeting.
