Ok I have a question. I am in Georgetown Township and am finally ready to get chickens. I plan on having 6 hens, no roosters. My township has an 'exception' written in to their animal ordinance that reads: Any animal recognized by the Michigan Right to Farm Act, MCL 286.471 et seq. which complies with all State of Michigan rules, regulations, requirements, and statutes (including being in compliance with the generally accepted management practices regulations) and which complies with the Georgetown Charter Township Zoning Ordinance and any other applicable township ordinances.
My question is - do I even ask for permission? There's only one neighbor behind me who would even possibly see my chickens and coop. They have talked to me before about our pool, etc., so my thought is if they had some issue with my chickens they would come to me first and I could simply tell them about the RTF. This would prevent the township from even knowing. Thoughts?? Thanks!
