I joined this forum hoping to get advice since I’m totally new to chickens. In fact, I’m still in the phase where I’m researching and deciding if having chickens will be a good fit for me.
First of all, I’m having a hard time figuring out if I’m allowed to have them in my area. I’m in Tacoma, WA and have looked it up. I believe I can have up to 6 hens (or up to 10 with neighbors permission) in Tacoma. However, do I need to dig deeper and figure out my specific zone or zip code? It’s been kind of confusing so if anyone has any advice for me I’d appreciate it. I do know of a couple different people in different parts of the neighborhood have chickens.
I’m also in a neighborhood. I have a fairly big backyard and I know space won’t be an issue but I don’t want to disturb my neighbors. I don’t think they would mind a little noise, but since I don’t have any experience I have no idea what to expect besides the research I have done thus far.
I am looking to get 4-5 hens and particularly want Ameraucanas, Easter Eggers (or olive eggers), and black Australorps. Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Also, like I mentioned before I’m totally new to this website so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area!
