Chatham Township NJ Chickens

[StregaNonna]

Hi there,
I am trying to find out if I can have chickens in Chatham Township, NJ. I know that Chatham Borough does not allow chickens but Township I keep hearing differing opinions. The only code book mention of poultry says I can’t sell eggs in a market garden but I would just keep them for myself and neighbors. Thanks!

I'd just call them and ask. Their number is on their website: https://chathamtownship.org/

I believe you can but you should no rely on hearsay and call them directly as @Debbie292d suggested.
Also, welcome to BYC! Settle in and enjoy the community. There is a thread with others in NJ, not that active but still good to be aware of.
