I'm moving to Battlefield, MO (65610), and would like to know if anyone has recently researched the zoning restrictions for backyard chickens and livestock in this area.
Thanks in advance!
 
Looks like you're good to go. These are pretty good as far as restrictions go.

You can have up to 25 chickens in battlefield but they don’t enforce or check on how many you have. I have 10 my neighbor has 50. 🤷‍♀️. Also they say you can’t have roosters well i and 5 other neighbors have roosters.
