I live in the far Eastern reaches of Indiana, in a small farming town, and, due to "circumstances", we've had to build a chicken tractor and a temporary coop in our shed to raise our children's 4H chickens here at home. Fortunately, after the local Fair the vast majority of our fine feathered feasts will be gone and our freezer will be full, but the few that remain ( 1 bantam rooster, 2 Rhode Island reds for eggs, and a weirdo silkie that may or may not leave a little something in her nest box), will hopefully be a non-issue. We have very understanding neighbors who like fresh eggs, but we live in fear of "The Man". To that end, I've put out feelers to our local law enforcement ( remember, we're a farming community, even though we are also a town ) and they have no problem with turning a bit of a blind eye so long as there are no complaints. I also plan to run for Town Council next elections to work from the inside to get change started.
Best of luck to you, and all of us.
