    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    I've thought about this so many times since we moved here 3 years ago. We are off Augusta and have to venture out to Tractor Supply every time we need pine shavings/supplies. Where are you thinking? Would love to support a local business. I think there used to be a "Feed and Seed" near...

    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    There are a few people in our neighborhood with chickens! Good to know in case we have questions or need help chicken sitting! My two oldies are a Rhode Island Red and a Golden Comet. My three new ones are Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, and Delaware. Watch out for the hawk that covers...

    ADDING NEW CHICKENS TO THE COOP

    I'm also in the process of integrating three new hens (9 weeks old now) into our existing flock (2 hens). It was going great until recently. Somehow they have managed to get across the plastic fencing I used to divide the run in half. Everyone is getting along, but everyone is eating the...

    Coop Names and Signs

    Ours is called "Coops-a-Daisy" and the hens are named after flowers-Tulip, Marigold, Daisy... No sign yet, but the coop has a bed of daisies in front which started the whole thing!

    Egg Eating Chicken and I am out of ideas

    I know I'm kinda late to the discussion, but I had a similar experience last year with a leghorn that was laying softer shelled eggs than normal and the other two hens realized "breakfast" was waiting in the morning! I watched them literally stalk her while she was in the nesting box and even...

    "Coops-a-Daisy"

    This is a recent renovation of our previous coop. We expanded the run to triple its original size which allowed for more shade and happier hens! Then we removed the "box" portion where the girls slept and nested. We built the new hen house outside of the run and at my waist height for easier...

    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    I laughed out loud reading that! I can't believe he said ALL chickens have mites and lice. Mine don't. And my dogs do not have fleas! Good job selling your roos and good luck with your girls! You should be getting eggs soon, right? I can't believe I'm starting with chicks again. We lost...

    That's where we take our dogs, too! They are great! I will ask them if they know of someone nearby who would be interested.

    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    I found the Tractor Supply in Mauldin and use it pretty often for supplies. Thanks! I read back through the older posts and was surprised how many people live near me with chickens. (Augusta Road area). Any suggestions for chicken sitters?

    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    Wow-that's great! Has there been much publicity about the change? We did end up in the City of Greenville off Augusta and our three hens are doing great. Now if I could just find a store close to us that sells feed and supplies! Thanks for the update!

    Can I keep chickens in city limits of Greenville, SC?

    I know the date on this thread is old, but I was really glad to see the posts and wanted to respond, too. We are in the process of moving to Greenville this June and believe it or not-chicken ordinances is one of our deciding factors! I'm relieved to see they are allowed! Any thoughts about...
