6 people, two large dogs and a cat? I wonder if the land lord knows that all of these people and animals are living in his tiny 800 SF house?
Most land lords or rental agencies would not allow that many people or large pets in such a small home. I know that some won't allow cats etc...
I tried to find your county zoning laws online but came up empty. Maybe someone else will have more luck locating them if they are posted online and give them a look. Good Luck!
Idon't have chickens yet but I am dealing with a similar situation. I'm 7 miles outside of the city and my county has restrictions that do not allow farm animals on property under 70000 sq ft. Fortunately for me, several of the forum members took a look at my county code and Karlachix found a...
Cary's town council acted disgracefully! What arrogant self obsorbed and disappointing excuses for representatives of local citizens! How dare they toss aside the requests of local citezens becuase it does not interest them or serve their purposes! They took no time to understand the issue...
Thank you everyone for all of you support and ideas. I am going to send in my 4H leader application next week.
I can't wait to start getting my chickens. Thanks for the offer of hatching eggs.
Actually, I am a little concerned about the whole 4H thing as I am new to chickens. I hope that I...
I tried to post a comment on your news story but the form said that it was closed for comments
Can we still vote for you? If so could someone please post the link again for where we can vote? Thanks and best of luck!
Thanks rooster0209. I appreciate your help. The zoning regulations are somewhat confusing, but as I understand it, chickens are allowed IF you have a cetain amount of land. Unfortunately my plot of land (which is half an acre) is not large enough to own a chicken.
This makes no sense as inside...
I just got off the phone with the Yavapai county 4H office. They confirmed that 4H members may override the county zoning laws and keep poultry and other livestock on lots with square footage less than county requirments. She was not certain if this rule would apply to the 4H leaders as well...
This is so unfortunate! Those emails against chickens are rediculous and inaccurate. I can't help but respond to the emails that were sent opposing chickens in the fine town of Cary. I hope that I do not get into trouble for posting my thoughts on this issue.
Those against chickens claimed...
Karlachix! Thank you! Thank you! I had not found that particular page when I did my online searches. Why do government organizations make it sooo confusing to find information? I had found another page and did not see anything listed about 4H.
I'm almost 50 years old, so I don't think I can be...
Thank you, thank you risurocket for that contact information! I will definately contact these people and see what advice they can offer.
My situation seems so illogical, that anywhere in the city I could have unlimited chickens, but where I am in the county I can not have a single chicken...
Congratulations! I just found out that I cannot have chickens on my zoning in the county where I live, but in the city you can own unlimitted chickens as long as you keep them clean! I don't know if I will be able to change this or not. right now it isn't looking so hopeful. Does your daughter...
This is interesting about the chicken law being in print. I will try to find out if this anti chicken hating law is in print. With my luck it probably is. But Thanks, I'll check.
I noticed a post about the city chicken laws in Portland being changed. I will see if I can locate and contact the...

Your laws sound like what the man from the city informed me the city laws were in town. He was very nice and he was shocked that I could not have chickens where I live in the county.
I will post my general location in case there is anyone who might be able to help or can offer...
I looked at the county code online. Appearantly the "nice" woman at the county is correct. If I had over 70,000 sqaure feet of land (5 acres I think?) I could over ride the law, but anything less with my zoning does not allow any form of farm animal, including pidgeons. Even if you just have...
According to the "nice" woman at the county, my zoning is one of the most restrictive they have?!!! That is so hard to believe because this neighborhood is old cabins in the woods. Many do not live here year round. We had to totally gut and remodel our home to make it nice enough to live in to...
I am even more confused and disappointed now. I just called the city that we live outside of. I was just told that there are NO restrictions for having chickens inside the city limits of the town that we live by?!!! They do not have any limit on how many chickens you own either! You can have as...
I live in a small cabin on half an acre in the county, seven miles from town. There are properties down the road from me with horses and my neighborhood is sort of "rustic" I was certain that there would be no issue owning a few chickens where I live. I wanted to be sure that I did not keep over...
