when one of my girls goes broody I put her in chicken jail.  Chicken jail happens to be an empty rabbit hutch.  I block off the back of the hutch so she can't get to the dark room,  In the front I put food, water and the broody girl  NO NESTING MATERIALS.   2 to 3 days and she's good to go. 

Hi everyone! New to BYC and I've been looking all over for members in CT.

No not really new, but was looking for info on ordinances in Plainville. I know people who have them and heard of "chirpping" boxes being delivered, but without walking in and possibly causing a stir, I have no clue if they are allowed and how many.

Based on the below information you are allowed to have chickens in plainville. I suggest calling (Not from your home phone) to find out how many are allowed

 Welcome I grew up in New Britain not in Oakville (north of Waterbury)

Thanks, Mikedero. The zoning is R-10 but  E.1.a. says: "no livestock or poultry, except for household pets, shall be kept on any lot of less than two acres." So does that mean that the chickens are illegal? Where abouts in NB? Me too.

East end I am 39 years old, and chances are yes they consider chickens livestock.
