Hello from Belton, MO

[organizedmama]

Hi Everyone-

I don't have chickens yet, but I've convinced the hubby they're a reasonable investment and that's 3/4 of the battle! Now I need to:

1) find out about zoning inside Belton city limits for egg layers only (well, possibly meat birds as well, but NO roosters)

2) meet some others who are in Belton, Raymore, or Grandview

3) build a coop and chicken yard

4) buy chicks!

I'm a complete newbie at this. I've got family that are farmers so I'm going to be calling them for help and going up for a visit when my cousin 'dresses chickens' next to see if I've got that part of it in me. Otherwise, I'll be happy with just having a few layers.

Any thoughts or knowledge about local zoning would be helpful...I'm having trouble finding answers.

Thanks!

Hello
Just take 2 buckets of chicken to your local police station that will cut out alot of red tape:

I'm in Raymore, but in the residential areas. I'm also trying to get straight answers as to whether or not we can have chickens. Seems like everyone you talk to (even at the city hall) has a different twist on the answers.

go to "where am I, where are you," and you can post on your state thread. Locals will probably have much more info to offer you. Good luck
