hello from alabama

[gilligw]

I live in huntsville al, and even though my family lives in an suburb my heart is in the country. I've research the chicken ordinance and plan on getting permission from neighbors to start a flock of 3 hens for eggs. My life goal is to have soccer hobby farm including many chickens, garden, sheep and more. I'm excited to learn about everything chicken. Any info on how to approach neighbors and my how about permision will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! You may like to drop by the chicken laws section of the forum for help on how to approach your neighbours about chickens. Here is the link > https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/37/local-chicken-laws-amp-ordinances-and-how-to-change-them

There may be other members who have had to deal with neighbours over there.

Wishing you the very best of luck and hope you enjoy BYC

Welcome to Backyard chickens. I am wondering what a soccer farm is. Hope you are successful in getting chickens,

Welcome from your southern neighbor. I work in Huntsville... I have several friends who have a few hens in the city.

Soccer farm was meant to be small hobby farm. And I'm hoping that by getting permission from neighbors that border my property and having a coop that is within the guidelines of the hoa ,while having only 3-4 hens. No roosters, I can have my first set of chickens. I'd like to start with 2 road Island reds, then every two years get new dominics so I can tell what birds are older and know when to cull. But it is all for not if the neighbors say no.
