    Maybe we can help this little girl keep her chickens!

    I am fighting a similar fight now in ID where all cities in the county allow chickens in residential zones, but where I live, in between the cities, the county will not allow me to have them. I did not know this until we had constructed the coop and raised chickens for 6 weeks. I honestly...

    Seriously. Sadly, she was trying to make a sale. She knew I'd pass because of the ordinance. So, I wasn't told. That's my take on it. I really thought I knew the law. 😢

    Thank you. I admit I didn't get further than finding my house on the tax map. I'll have to explore further. If this ordinance is restrictive, I definitely want to change it. I'll look over/post on the state page. Thank you for this information. I just can't believe this is happening because it...

    There are state pages? I guess I don't know how to navigate this site yet. This is the local chicken laws & ordinances section. I thought I was in the right place. I'm not sure what you mean by tax rolls. I don't know how to do that. I'm not even sure what real estate agents get paid for...

    I have read through everything. If I had been told we were in the county and not the city, I would have read these docs and passed on the house. We are a bigger lot than you are assuming, with no problem having a flock of 6 chickens. The city allows for up to 10 on our size lot, along with up to...

    I gave the agent my 1 and only requirement: that I have chickens. My address is "Idaho Falls" and I checked their city ordinances as well as the community docs. I also took a Google walk around the neighborhood, as I was buying from out of state, and there were 3 coops just on my block, along...

    No, R-1. I'm reading through their antiquated (1968) document to see what amendments have been made. The city allows them. Makes no sense the county laws would be different. The city adopted the amendment in 2010. I looked through the city ordinances & the docs for the community before deciding...

    8 week old speckled Sussex - girl or boy

    It is so hard to tell at this age. I had a SS that ended up being a rooster. It wasn't until about 10 weeks that I could tell. The comb did grow early, so now I see that was my first sign. Also, that he was bigger than the others are would stick his neck up above the flock to see all around...

    Hello. I just purchased a home in Idaho Falls, ID.... well, I thought so. It turns out my home is technically in the county, but not the city, which I didn't know until I moved in and set up utilities. Keeping a small backyard flock was at the top of my list of home requirements and the city...
