FLORIDA - Please list your City here That Allows Chickens!

[mrswolf02]

I'm in Lake Placid in Highlands county....this is an agricultural community ) orange groves, cows, caladiums) but some parts are just "residential" and not zoned for "agriculture". I know the city of Sebring allows chickens ( and pot bellied pigs) and I think just 2 hens? im not too sure.Not sure about Avon Park and not sure about where I live, I'm in a little suburb of Lake Placid but live off the main drag/area of my subdivision. I've got 6 girls and so far since they moved out to coop in May I have not had issues from my 2 closest neighbors. My heart sinks and I get that "oh crap I'm caught" cold feeling come over me when I see our busy body "security" drive by lol They stay in my backyard, mainly hanging out by coop when they have playtime, they don't make much noise except before they lay and of course their " I laid an egg" song. I keep it clean and doesnt smell so if someone has an issue, I'll ask em if they want to buy my groceries!

Orlando, Florida! I think you can have three if you're part of a special program. But I think everyone should be able. But I'm not sure about what it is now.

Jacksonville, Florida approved chicken ordinance. Please read all the way through it, quite a few caveats and requirements, but do-able:

Hernando County seems okay. We live agricultural, and yet to receive any notices/complaints. I know Brooksville city limits just allowed hens in residential areas. No rooster, you have to have written consent from all neighbors, and they have to be X amount of feet from fence line. Hope that helps!

Orange county is supposed to vote on it in July. Orlando had that program that was going to allow 12 families to have 3 birds each no roosters. But they have since reversed their decision so no legal ownership in Orlando city limits

My house is residential, so I can't get chickens.

Chickens are good for the environment! Have you ever heard of a chicken causing a huge problem in a neighborhood? NOOO! And think of the fresh eggs... My family thinks I'm crazy cuz I don't want a dog or a cat or something simple. I even signed a petition for chicken rights haha.
