We are building a house and moving to Marquette, KS and because of the Free Land deal, the place we are moving doesn't allow anything other than dogs or cats but we were told before we signed the paperwork that they will give up a variance for our chickens.
I am assuming that we will get to say how many chickens/roos in the application and just stay at or below that number. We want to do meaties and layers, and want to be able to replenish our own flock.
How many should we put down for, we are a family of 3 currently.
How old do roos be before you can cull them to send them to freezer camp? Figuring that that can be the cut off for an "unlimited" number of "chicks"?
Also, the covenants stated that "no electric fences" are allowed - do you think that means every where? As I was thinking that since our property is up against a huge field we are more apt to get predators, and I wanted to use it just around the run/coop area. We plan to eventually have a fence around our hole property (about 1 acre) but that is expensive.
Thanks
