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!

Animal control is the way to go...I called an animal shelter first and they directed me 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.
