Can I keep chickens in West Bloomfield, Michigan?

Hiya!

 

I SHOULD (not for sure) be getting 2 bantams next week and 4 buff orpingtons in July. I live in West Bloomfield. Are there any laws/ordinances against chickens there? Also, I live in a subdivision. How should I go about checking if it is okay? Also, we will be keeping the bantams INSIDE... Buff orpingtons OUTside... Thanks ! 

A WHOLE LOT of incubating eggs...

 

Michigan Suburban boy ! :D

Hey all  on this thread,  I'm new to BYC, but plan to get more active.  I live in Troy MI and I'm trying to get our city ordinance changed. I've started a facebook group:  http://www.facebook.com/groups/193955827411150/   It's called Troy Michigan Backyard Chicken Movement.  Please provide any suggestions, join, or pass it along to people you know that would like to sign my petition.

 

thanks

 

Drew
