That would be GREAT here!!! 25 feet from any dwelling makes sooo much sense rather than our boro's moronic 100 feet from any "lot line"!!
(which insures most will never have any!)

Will do!
Honestly, I'd hope to just find another place we can afford since we've been looking anyway,.... (nothing newer than about 1931 though!)
Who knows,.. maybe if the good Lord sees fit, we'll end up finding something else with a bit of land by the time our baby comes!
Well,...we'll see. I have to go over to the zoning guy this week anyway for something else I need to do, so maybe while I'm there I'll just go out on a limb and say I was looking to build a "Chicken Tractor", and keep chickens in it,.... then see what happens after I drop that on him...

EXACTLY!
It is completely ludicris especially being that this entire area has sooo much agricultural history with farms, etc around here, .... IT SUCKS!!!!

Well, it figures they'd stand in the way of something that makes so much sense (ie. keeping a few hens for eggs!)
Unfortunately, I couldn't physically make a hen house far enough away from the end of our yard/lot line!
Heck, a neighbor down the street got shot down on a fence he sought...
Thanks for the replies thus far you two,.... much appreciated!
We're praying that we might get a very small farm locally, if they'll come down on their price and we can sell our home as well, this way we can just have as many chickens and whatever else we so desire without lack of space, and...
Is it even worth deciding to keep chickens in a smaller living area (approx. .26 acres) here where I live??
I'm just wondering,.... as I've been wanting to keep chickens for eggs here in Upper Bucks County, PA.
I know that things keep changing around here, everywhere really, but I was wondering...
