Can I keep chickens in West Bloomfield, Michigan?

[XxPandaxX]

Hiya!

I SHOULD (not for sure) be getting 2 bantams next week and 4 buff orpingtons in July. I live in West Bloomfield. Are there any laws/ordinances against chickens there? Also, I live in a subdivision. How should I go about checking if it is okay? Also, we will be keeping the bantams INSIDE... Buff orpingtons OUTside... Thanks !

It doesn't look like it

but I'm pretty sure there are people there who still keep them

Hi panda, I'm likely moving to west Bloomfield in January, just wondering if you got your chickens and how it's going for you?

Hey all on this thread, I'm new to BYC, but plan to get more active. I live in Troy MI and I'm trying to get our city ordinance changed. I've started a facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/193955827411150/ It's called Troy Michigan Backyard Chicken Movement. Please provide any suggestions, join, or pass it along to people you know that would like to sign my petition.

thanks
