Hello!

[Susan Fleming]

Hello! I’m new to this group. I’ve long wanted to keep a few chickens and would love to learn more. Not sure if it’s possible to keep chickens on my terrace in Brooklyn. I’m meen, I know it’s legal- but I’m not sure how to ensure I’m doing it right!

Hiya, Susan, and welcome to BYC!

It is possible and we do have some members that do it. I'll see if I can find a few threads about it.

Hiya Susan, here's an old post from a member that's not been around too much, but you can read through the thread of what she did.

Also I forgot to answer the other questions! I have a husband, a son, two dogs, a cat and several aquariums. Honestly if we add chickens we’ll be the Brooklyn petting zoo, but I just would love to keep them. I may live in the most city of cities, but I think I have an inner farm girl. We garden and grow some vegetables too- we even grew a pumpkin this year- all on our terrace!

Oh thanks for this! I’ll investigate her coop too.
