Chicken owner!

[cherrynberry]

Hi! I recently became a chicken owner during this quarantine period. We have two comets, two leghorns, and 9 easter eggers (One of which we think is a rooster). We are planning to sell some easter eggers soon. Both the leghorns and comets have started laying and we are excited to get some blue/green eggs. Just wondering if anyone here knows what is the "chicken business" all about in Los Gatos. Does that location allow to have roosters under 1 acre of land and how many hens in 5 acres of land?

Not sure about your area specifically but here, in rural Illinois, we go by Village ordinance not lot size. Unless your lot is zoned "Agriculture". In which case you can have as much livestock/chickens/whatever you want.
