More than a decade ago my mom was interviewed on the local news as part of an effort to make backyard chickens legal in Lehigh. It was no use at the time. It's so densely packed with retirees who feel it's beneath their retirement standards in their neighborhoods. We moved to central Fl where there's lots of agricultural areas.

me toooo. I just think Lee County continues to grow at such a pace and I think its going to become even harder to realize the kind of lifestyle many people want - we had to go country and leave coastal behind but are much happier...lots of places still wild and beautiful here in central FL. Good luck!

I am looking to move to the Lee County area. I have found a piece of property that is zoned AG-2. How many chickens are we allowed to have and can I have roosters? Thank you for your help.

I don't believe AG-2 has limitations. You'll need to meet setback requirements.
