laws

I am planning on moving to Los Lunas New Mexico within 6 months to a year from now. However, I unfortunately cannot seem to find the laws regarding chickens or ducks. Would anyone happen to know any laws/regulations regarding them?

Hello all I’m new to this and have a couple of questions before I commit to an idea! I want my family to become more sustainable! We already have a garden but I ran the idea of getting chickens! Right now I’m looking through regulations and trying to figure out what is best! I’ve read that...

I have been searching the RI DEM agriculture website all day and have come up with no answers. I want to start selling day old chicks but I want to make sure I am not doing so illegally. As far as I know NPIP certification is voluntary in my state. I cannot find any other certifications or laws...

Hi, I am moving from Plano to hopefully a city that will allow chickens on backyards. I would love to move to Celina, but want to know first if that will even be an option there. Was not able to find anything fairly updated about the matter, so I am afraid this will be a no go there. Anyone know...

Hi, Currently I have a few backyard hens which produce lots of eggs, but I’m looking to expand my flock a bit further to maybe start supplying the eggs to local cafes in my area. I understand this is the beginning of straying away from backyard chickens... but I think its a step in the right...

Not my flock: Our neighbor has a flock of about 30 free range chickens that are roaming the neighborhood. We already have a 4' cattle fence separating his property from ours, but it does not keep the chickens out of my yard. We do have a farm, horses, but we do not have chickens. If I wanted...

I've been contacting animal control and city hall but I still haven't received anything yet. Is anyone aware of the regulations and laws in Lawrence about owning backyard chickens. As well as any one I can contact for information.

Hey I'm in Washington State and I want to know how to make a case and fight for the rights for roosters to be in town. So many people want to keep their boys and dogs are more obnoxious than roosters and roosters are able to be kenneled and contained at night into early morning so I don't see...

Hi all- I know its a stretch but does anyone here know what the laws are in Newburyport, MA? I am hearing different things and the ordinances online are very confusing. Or any tips on how to clarify regulations in our favor?? ;) Thanks!! Shannon

Hi Everyone, I live in a small city in NY. Last year my neighbors decided to raise backyard chickens. It went fine for the most part. I love the hens as I do all animals. Last fall, the same neighbor bought a larger coop that was OK for 6 hens. The problem is, they haven't left the coop yet and...

Hello my fellow backyard chicken friends. I am meeting with county officials next week to discuss backyard chickens. Currently poultry are only allowed in agriculturally zoned areas. (Backyard chickens only hasn't passed bc of 1 vote!) I am asking for your research and knowledge on this topic...

Even if you don't know much on the subject, please drop a comment so this thread doesn't get buried? I know this is probably in the wrong forum, but the laws/ordinances thread doesn't get much attention. I'm trying to ship hatching eggs to Canada. ✓ I got NPIP certified Π Get the vet to sign...

We are have two chickens, one escaped from some bird fighting people so we kept her and we got another to keep her company. We are very new to this. Now they seem to have got gapeworm or a respiratory illness. Not running nose but lethargy, closing eyes often and opening beak. The one is a...

After much research, especially here on this site, my fiance and I decided that bringing a few hens into our life would be a wonderful idea! We went out, found the best chicks for us and our family, and purchased four (2 Black Australorp & 2 Buffy Orpington). Well, I certainly should have done...

hi everybody! I have never raised chickens (but my father has) and we want to get a few, but our city doesn’t allow them! We were thinking that maybe we could keep chickens at a nearby farm and collect the eggs there, but they won’t live on our property. It’s like a person who practices...

Hi all, I'm planning on getting some coturnix quail but obviously wanted to check the laws in my area before doing so to make sure it's legal. Unfortunately, however, I've not been able to find any specific information on laws concerning the keeping of coturnix quail in particular. I was...

Hi all, I’ve been looking into zoning laws and even NJ Fish and Wildlife website but can’t seem to find exactly whether I can keep Muscovy Ducks in my backyard. I found this ordinance that says chickens are strictly forbidden! At https://ecode360.com/9122736 But there is no mention of Ducks...

So our family has had chickens for a number of years now, but recently a neighbor was angered by the light of fireworks on the 4th of the year and filed a complaint with the township about our girls. My father had always wanted chickens and after moving to our new house and noticing several...

Okay so this has been going on the past few weeks and I've been losing my mind over it. But hopefully my post gives others a glimmer of hope in dark times. Sorry it's a bit lengthy. Maybe one day I'll write a book on my chicken adventures and this will be a chapter lol. We live in a very rural...
