Backyard Chickens in Sand Springs, Oklahoma
Status unclear
It's not clear from public sources whether backyard chickens are currently allowed in Sand Springs. The only source found is internally contradictory: it states poultry-keeping is prohibited within city limits, then in the same breath describes housing requirements for chickens "if kept" (50 ft from any neighboring home). That reads like the source itself is working from partial or outdated code.
Call the city directly before assuming an answer either way — the only source available disagrees with itself, so this page can flag the contradiction but can't resolve it.

Local considerations
- Feed and supplies: check a local Tractor Supply, Atwoods Ranch & Home, or independent feed store before ordering online.
- Tulsa County residents can reach the OSU Extension county office for flock health and predator questions — see the OSU Extension county office directory.
- City ordinances don't override HOA covenants — check yours separately even where the city allows chickens.
