Hi everyone. I am moving to West Palm Beach Fl, 33405 next month. I have never had chickens, but would love to when I move. I have been trying to find out if they are allowed to be kept as pets where I am moving. Anyone know for sure? Thanks
 
no not spam, it is Florida Urban Agriculture on Facebook for those that do follow Facebook. Just a good place to hang out and exchange information of all types not just poultry :) Thanks for bringing that to my attention
 
Hi everyone I'm in New Hampshire moving to Inverness Fl Or Beverly Hills Fl in Citrus County..Can you tell me if they allow chickens here I'm having a hard time finding info..Thanks :) :)


I think it is safe to say yes they allow chickens. Citrus county is mainly rural and there are many farm/poultry swaps nearby.

ALSO to all my Florida peeps: I have had issues with poisonous toads-- private message me if you have any experience or insight!!!!!! PLEASE!!!

Hi there, I am on the Gulf Coast, too. The Bufo Toad is a problem and I keep my eyes open all the time. It is important to distinguish the difference from other toads that are beneficial. Hope this link helps.
