ordinance

This "thread" goes back to 2008 with over 2,300 families experiencing issues with their city ordinances barring them from raising their own food on their own property. There are already over 50 posts from May of this year (2023.) Almost everyone posting here is seeking a way to fight their city...

I've looked everywhere to try and find my town's ordinance for chickens, and I cannot find anything about them. Nothing expressly says no, but nothing expressly says yes either. I live on 2 acres, but it is residential in city limits. I am just hoping for some help if anyone can provide it...

Hello everyone! We are looking to purchase a home in PA, most likely looking in the York, and Adams County areas. Even though this is farming country I soon realized that a lot of these townships arent chicken friendly... I had called a township because we were driving around and saw a house and...

Hello! I am fairly new at owning chickens. I live in a city that has fairly okay chicken ordinances, however I would love some advice and insight on my current situation with my hens and our city’s ordinance. I have 6 hens and had not done research into our city’s ordinances on Chickens. I...

Hello all, I love in a north suburb oh Chicago where chickens are not allowed. I have owned chickens in my backyard for a number of years but recently one of my neighbors a couple houses down posted online that they enjoy hearing chickens. This got me thinking, what if someone reported me...

Hello everyone! (Simi Valley, CA) I'm wondering if anyone has experience with a similar situation. My city doesn't allow chickens outside of 'farm animal' zones, with the exception of those under a 'hen project' ordinance. The ordinance allows up to 6 hens on at least an 8,000 sqft property if...

Please relocate if in the wrong area. I know that it isn’t for chickens, but I was wondering if someone could please help me find the dog ordinances for Lacey, WA? Wondering how many we are allowed to have.

Hello all! I was trying to find animal ordinance information for Steilacoom, WA because I was curious to see how many chickens/ducks I could have. When I tried searching I mostly found information on dogs and cats. Can someone please help?

Hello there! I live in Markham, and started raising chickens in our backyard around 8 months ago. However, it seems that one of our neighbours complained - a city official just contacted us and told us we have to "get rid" of our chicken within 30 days. The children really love the chickens, and...

Hello fellow chicken people. I’m new here and have been lurking for awhile. I have a flock of 8 chickens at home with my Dad in lower Michigan. I moved to the UP and had to leave my lovely flock behind... I was their number one caretaker so I’m heartbroken... I was hoping to get a flock up here...

So my boyfriend was going to get me a little flock for my birthday. I have chickens at home but I had to move out and leave them there with my family. Technically they’re my dads chooks so I couldn’t take them. I miss my chickens so much and I miss taking care of them and seeing them. They’re...

Hello all, I just bought a house with a big plot and I want to raise chickens. I looked at Rigby ordinances and it said that chickens were prohibited. Is this true? Do you think I would get in a bunch of trouble for having some chickens? Just want to get a feel for your opinions.

Since chickens are domesticated, what does this mean? Do I just get my chickens and keep my fingers crossed and coop nice and clean? I can not find any info on how to go about getting a permit. This is what the ordinance states: No person shall maintain, keep or harbor on any interior or...

Ok, so here's the story. About 2 months ago, someone in my town (about 1 mile away) had bought some chickens and a coop and put them in the yard. Because they're on a corner, everyone could see the coop. Local kids loved it, etc... However, they had a rooster. So they attracted obvious...

I am looking for some help. I have wanted to build a coop where I currently live for some time now and I’m finally getting to it. After quite a bit of searching, I decided on the Wichita Cabin coop. I am fairly handy. I can follow a set of plans pretty well. The plans for the Wichita coop...

I am planning on moving to Los Lunas New Mexico within 6 months to a year from now. However, I unfortunately cannot seem to find the laws regarding chickens or ducks. Would anyone happen to know any laws/regulations regarding them?

Hi Folks! I did a bit of searching around and can't find an answer one way or the other. Anyone here from Inkster with backyard chickens? I'm looking to purchase a home in the area on a quarter acre lot (but firmly within the suburbs) and was curious. The only local ordinance I can find is what...

I am very new to this site and I apologize if this has been addressed but I couldn't find an answer. I am about to buy 12 acres of property in a town outside of Milwaukee WI, Waukeaha County. I asked about raising chickens to the town and they said that is allowed in Agriculture districts which...

In San Ramon residential areas, up to 5 hens are allowed. No roosters. Backyard coops are allowed, but there are setback requirements. See details here: http://www.sanramon.ca.gov/our_city/departments_and_divisions/community_development/planning_services/zoning_ordinance

Just putting it out there now. We’ve had complaints to our township about having chickens. If we lose our case, I want to rehome them with someone who raises laying hens, not for butchering or something weird. We’re located in south eastern PA, about 15 miles outside of Philadelphia PA. Any...
