HOA says no outdoor structure....

I live in a cul-de-sac, corner lot.... possibly the neighbors to either side would see, but I don't think they'd care as long as it's hens and no roos. I'll have to put something together for inside and take pics.

The good news is, with them being inside the "shed" they'd have a LOT of room, lots of light and not too cold (not like it gets super cold in GA anyway

).

Your shed looks like it would work nicely. I'm not sure exactly where you live in GA, but some counties N of Atl (like Cobb) don't allow chickens on less than 2 acres, so check with your county zoning office. That would be the only problem I see, if you get your girls set up before the homeowners assoc finds out and bans them. Good luck!

There is a HUGE difference between a covenant and a rule. Rules are easy (relatively to make and change) covenants are H-A-R-D to make or change. You usually have to get 2/3rd to 3/4ths of the entire community (not just those who vote, but the total number) to agree. It is not unlike getting a US Constitutional amendment approved. BTW, I live in an HOA that THRIVES on its rural characteristics. I am president. About half the board own chickens.

I live in a private community that outlaws poultry, but there's practically a flock on every block near as I can tell. Not to mention a few goats.

Since our private community doesn't have any way to enforce their rules, so we just ignore them. Which I feel bad about, but given the amount of junker cars and huge garbage piles in some yards, it's hard to see how my duckies and cheekins are a problem comparatively.
