Unfortunately the plat needs to be very detailed. We had recently purchased our home and therefore had an extra plat from the survey. I had to add additional measurements to the plat. Be warned though, the county used the information on my plat to evaluate my property for other code violations...

1 black and 2 partridge available. Flock is too big and these girls did a great job sitting on some higher performers this spring. They’re about 1.5 years old. Time for them to move on. $10 each.

To clarify, you are allowed to keep hens. You just must first apply for a permit. No permit required for properties greater than 2 acres.

Where are you located?!

not applicable

Literally copy the letter they include (points A-I) and answer the questions. If the question doesn't apply (B for instance, hours of operation) just write: does not apply. And then at the end I listed the articles/provisions that we were requesting be amended for our needs. Art. 2-512 p(3b)...

Chicks have been picked up.

So they just sit in a pile outside in the weather? No need to cover them or anything?

How/where do you store the extra chips until you need them? Great idea asking a tree guy to dump em!

Hello all, we've got 6 extra chicks that need to find a new home before they're ready to head outside permanently. I believe they hatched on 16 June. I received them from the hatchery on 18 June. They are all supposed to be female. Mix of cochin and langshan. If you are going to come pick them...

Hi, I'm George. My family got our first 4 chicks a few weeks ago from Mt. Healthy Hatcheries and lost 3 within a day. Have since received 16 more from McMurray Hatchery (on June 18th) and still have 15! We started letting our 1 survivor from the first batch outside for a bit yesterday and are...

Adchick, I live on 0.5 acre in Lorton. From my conversations with the zoning department if you fill out all the paperwork, pay the fee, and your property is well suited for chickens it shouldn't be a problem. Everyone I have spoken with has been helpful and encouraging. Do know if you have any...

We took the oldest one out yesterday with a pen and it was a blast! So thankful for y'alls advise. Thank you. My 5 year old daughter really enjoyed watching her too. Can't wait to get the rest of them out there in a few weeks.

How old were they when you let them out for the first time? How long did you let them roam? I've got 1 - 3 weeker and 16 - 2day olds.

If anyone needs help with chicken permit application let me know. I have just gone through the process in Fairfax County, Virginia.
