Hello From Crawfordsville Indiana!

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 

Again hello. I am a mother of 4 ikids, a stay at home mom at that. Been here in Crawfordsville for 4 years and counting. I am wanting to have chickens but for the life of me cant find the ordinance for chicken ownership with in city limits here. I have been tearing up the internet. I see from a thread on here you can have them in Indianapois, but all cities play different. Can any one please tell me what you know, how many (if we even can) fee, housing requirments etc.. Thanks!

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

We are allowed to have them and very few guidlines, as long as they are quiet, and taken care of, and no stinch coming from my yard (but I have a need to always clean so we are ok there!) I have had some chickens (who I call "my ladies") for about 3 weeks now and got a new one that looks just like Happy Feet yesterday lol, I read that we can have them per some guidelines etc, but then when I went to tripple check the facts I couldnt find any info, I realized I needed to tripple check when I brought Midnight home yesterday (my Happy Feet replica) then I got some info from a local lady who has 4H chickens, and is in city limits, and she was able to help me out. I will share pictures of my ladies later today, and thanks for all the welcomes!

 

Oh Yes, I have Midnight (shes black w/ very little white) Brownie (all brown) Shilo (gray head, white body), Snuggles (gray and white body), and Gertrude (all white), the names suit them well personality and look wise. As for the breed I am not sure, I got them from a store here who carries them localy once a year, and it didnt matter to me who or what, as long as hey fit in our family, and that they do.
