BackyardChickens.com and its members are compiling a database listing hundreds (eventually thousands) of cities’ chicken laws and ordinances and we need YOUR HELP! All BYC members are invited to participate by submitting entries from our list of cities.

We're extremely lucky to have two amazing members helping on this project. They have been working tirelesly behind the scenes to make this project happen. So, I want to shout out a hugemongous THANK YOU to our Chicken L.O.R.E. Project Managers:

LareePQG & Coopa Cabana

If you have any questions or ideas regarding this project, please post them here.

We hope this project will help us get closer to our goal of "A Chicken In Every Yard!"

I love the picture. I want to read the book (knights fighting on roosterback...with swords and sorcery...

).

Ya, the picture is fantastic!!!

Hopefully we'll be able to create a fantastic database of helpful information that will always be updated and current! If the community can really pull together we could even create some cool maps of all the areas that chickens are legal and use that to further our cause!

Yay! Let's get this party started!

If anyone has any qyestions, just let me know! Most cities' information can be found on www.municode.com, but it is easiet to find it by just googling "XXX city ordinances".

Here is an example of a well-researched submittal
