If travel/commuting is an option, St. Augustine is pretty awesome. Half of our family is from Jacksonville and we moved to St. Augustine for the old Florida charm. We live on the intracoastal and it's very laid back. Across the marsh is a huge & fancy HOA, but our acreage is zoned rural/homestead with no restrictions. And it's on the water. Maybe it's too far, but South St. Augustine is booming and also still rural-ish.Long story short, we have a job offer in Jacksonville FL and are in town checking out the area. We currently have 24 chickens, 1 being a rooster and we're considering raising some chicks in the future, maybe eventually getting into breeding purebred Ameraucanas or heritage BRs or maybe just stick to replenishing our own flock of hatchery stock with our own mixes.
Reading local ordinances, JAX area allows 5 hens, no roosters and an additional 5 hens for every additional half acre. What areas are close to the middle- west part of Jacksonville that would allow for our little poultry farmette? Or we need at least 3 acres in town and would still have to get rid of our roo.
Anyone here with chicken experiences in the area?
