    Hamilton County, TN — Chicken Ordinance?

    Mara, I'm in TN an hour or two from you. Pretty sure you can get as many chickens and roosters as you want and no one will care. If you are outside of city limits, I don't think you will have any restrictions. Even if you are inside city limits, it sounds like it still doesn't matter and you...

    Who Makes Chickens Illegal?

    Yeah that is the parallel I have in mind too. The difference between some career government employee buried inside the Department of Energy making rules about how many gallons of water our dishwashers can use, and our elected representatives in Congress (as flawed as they may be) actually...

    Cows Okay But Chickens Banned!?

    I'm looking at buying a house outside of Knoxville TN. I'm from MA so not really sure what local culture is like there. But I'm looking at Google Maps street views and see numerous houses on this road have cows. It's a small country road 20 minutes outside of the city. But, the deed...

    How to own more than 7 chickens?

    I'm in massachusetts now, actually going to move soon, and was trying to see where was chicken-friendly. I was also considering moving out of state too. Any feedback on that would be appreciated. Is there some way to just call myself a farm, but just an extremely small farm, so I could have...

    How to own more than 7 chickens?

    I'm new to chicken stuff. It seems like most towns have a regulation that you can own upto 7 hens. But I'm wondering, what if I like chickens, have enough space at my house, and want more, how can I own more than 7 chickens?
