I currently live in Peachtree City but we are looking to move. We want to live where we can have some more land and also Chickens. It is very frustrating to be somewhere where we can not do what we want to. Does anyone know which surrounding towns do allow chickens? I have searched and searched and can not find any ordinances on line that say one way or another.
Thanks!

Hi Eggronomic, we're near you. We have a farm in west GA. Try calling your city administrator if you are in the city limit! And when you research and if you're ready, feel free to call us. There are others in the area as well that would be glad to help you!

Confused....

Peach Tree City isnt located in Fulton County, Georgia , but in Fayette County, Georgia. In Fulton your limited to the amount of hens you are allowed and roosters are banned.
Johns Creek's Martha Mellon will give away her chickens as part of her settlement the City of Johns Creek. Mellon sued the City after it cited her for violating the zoning ordinances by raising poultry within 200 feet of a neighboring property line.
Which was also in Fulton County. So, if you mean Fulton county is not poultary friendly..you would be correct.

However, I know in PTC there has been active progress in changing the zoning. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/726587/peachtree-city-ga-lets-change-the-ordinance

Eggronomic,

I have friends in Sharpsburg that have chickens and will ask them. They are in a neighborhood and do not have more than 1 acre so you may be OK there. It may depend on whether the neighborhood allows it. Our friends have had them for years and as far as I know they have never had problems.
