Hey all! I've been dreaming and planning on chickens for years now, Finally have a spot to keep them(sorta). So I'm giving it a try this year.
The town I'm stuck in may have some old codes allowing hens and a coop, such and such distance away from any dwelling, but the codes enforcer is of the opinion of No livestock period. Rabbits included. He actually said he better not find me raising some in my basement. . . Yeah.

I may not have followed that. But rabbits are one thing, chickens are another. And less easily hidden.

My dad moved close a few years back. Outside of town to the familys' original homestead. And this year I've gotten permission to keep chickens up there! Finally!
Planning on a run or 2 of meat birds in a hoop coop and going to attempt a group of free range with a chick shaw. Will probably fail horribly but live and learn.

So happy for you!! I never realized that I took for granted being able to have all sorts of animals in my property. I forget that other places have their laws and commissioners who like to make their own rules just because. Again, I’m so excited for you because chickens really are the best!

Make yourself at home here and best wishes with getting a flock this year!

Ask these folks about how to protect them once you get them, nothing worse than loosing something you put effort in to a predator that just wants a meal. Also let us know what type you get, and finally, welcome home to BYC. Good luck with your new babies.
