Does anyone know what the livestock laws are in Montgomery County, MD? It's a suburban neighborhood, so I wouldn't be keeping any roos, but I haven't been able to find out how many hens I can have (or if I can have them). Any info? Thanks!

I am in Harford County and I am trying to find out the same thing, how many hens I can have. I live in a town house and I have not been able to get any information yet. If anyone knows I would appreciate any info that is out there.

An owner must not allow a domestic or exotic bird, including a homing pigeon, to be in an aviary within 100 feet of any structure used for human habitation or work. This does not apply to a bird inside the owner's dwelling, in a pet shop, in an agricultural area, or in a market for less than 24 hours for sale for human consumption.

See www.montgomerycountybackyardchickens.org for information on current laws and pending legislation for Montgomery County backyard chickens. As for larger livestock, that is not being changed with the proposed legislation, and you can see the current code for Maryland here:
