Chickens are not allowed in Kirkland.
Prohibited. By-law GEN-2020-54 (art. 4) bans anyone from keeping wild, farm, or exotic animals within city limits. The definition of "domestic animal" (art. 1) is a closed list (dog, cat, aquarium fish, small mammal, small non-venomous reptile, bird) that doesn't include poultry.
