[Ocala RIR]

Altoona Florida, Well where I live is part of the Ocala National Forest. No restriction here. Everybody has all types of animals.

I've just read that you can have ONE chicken if you live in Brevard "county". How about if you live inside the city limits (like West Melbourne)? Having just one chicken sounds a bit ridiculous. Who'll they cluck to??

I heard a rumor on public radio station that said people were trying to pass a law to allow anyone in Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, and Port St Lucie to have backyard chickens, but I never heard if it passed or was pending or what the full story was about the topic. I'm not sure if they were talking about Indian River too or not as they mentioned it was about the "Treasure Coast." Maybe someone else has more info.

You can add Deltona, FL to the list. We are in the midst of a 1 year trial.

Pasco County allows backyard chickens. Just spoke to the City of New Port Richey's code enforcement officer, an awesome gal named Liz. She said that county states we are allowed to have hens (including within city limits) and they just need to be "contained". My chickens are "contained" in my fenced in backyard and they are locked in the coop only at night. She also told me that the code doesn't specify a max number limit on how many you are allowed to have...

so I will tentatively assume 8-10 in a coop is fair game!

Brevard Cty has a pretty liberal policy. 4 chickens per 1/2 acre
