I had to find the class myself, they require an in-person class but don't offer any which is BS. The class cost me $35. I asked what I needed to prove I took the class and they said a certification, I asked what if they don't offer one, they said a receipt would do. We have several people in town with chickens, our mayor doesn't like the idea (even though he is all about the environment) so he pushed the ordinance and made it difficult to meet the "rules." I bust his chops at council meetings about it a lot.

Hi! I am getting 4 chickens later this month. My town requires a permit for chickens so I have to wait till the 14th to take a class then I can get them. I am renting chickens (the only way I could get my husband to agree to it). I have been reading and watching YouTube videos like crazy. Can't wait for my girls to arrive!!!

Hola Maria ! How cool you can rent some chickens to learn all about them. I'm glad you are getting your own girls. Kind of like being a nanny before you have your own kids! lol I wish best of luck do you know what breeds your going to get.?

Sounds like your mayor is what I call a pseudo environmentalist. They are when it suits them but they don't let it get in the way when there's money to be made, The difference between an environmentalist and a builder is the environmentalist has his house in the woods and the builder can't have his in the woods because of ordinance. Here's an example I ponder on. The "STATE" can char hundreds of acres for prescribed burning killing all those endangered Pine Snakes, Pine Barren Tree Frogs and famous Timber Rattler and God knows what else but before you build your house there must be an environmental impact study on that 2 acre parcel. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
YOU HAD TO GET ME STARTED. :old:mad:

Rent the Chicken provides you with newly laying hens, coop, feeders and feed, for about 7 months. At the end you can return them or "adopt" them.

My town allows chickens, but you have to take a "chicken raising" class in-person, not online, in order to be granted a permit to keep chickens legally. A local farm offers a class to teach you how to care for chickens so I signed up. I'll post what it was like once I attend.

Interesting. Thank you for sharing this information.

Yes, They are making it difficult for your town residents to have chickens.
