Just wondering, did you ever find out what the chicken laws/ordinances are in Middleboro? We are thinking of getting chickens and live in Middleboro too, but can't seem to find any information online. I hesitate to call because then they will have my name and phone number, and know that I inquired. If chickens are allowed, then I don't mind, but if they aren't, then I'm not sure what I will do. We live on a very quiet one-way, one-lane gravel road with conservation land behind us, so if my neighbors don't mind a few chickens . . .
