    Piscataway, NJ

    Hello, I have been trying to research poultry ordinances in Piscataway, NJ with little luck. My house is in a residential area - not a large lot (< .25 acre), but there is space for a coop and a few chickens. Was hoping somebody might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks.
