Hobby Chickens

[Nalex1]

Hello,
I am new to having chickens in the city. We had them growing up on the farm, but I wanted to bring a little "rural-ness" to my kids (11, 8, 6, & 4).
We have a coop and area for chicken run, but I was confused on the city's requirements.

Would anyone be willing to come and see if what we have will work? We live just south of Fontenelle Forest and East of Ft. Crook Rd.

We are still getting our coop set up, so no chickens yet. I googled raising chickens in Bellevue and your group popped up.

We are interested in layers.

Hello, you'll need to check with your local authorities to see what they say are the regulations for your area.

Good luck!

Hello @Nalex1 and

I would definitely check with your local authorities to see if they can check out your coop for you. I know that the rules vary drastically depending on where you live, so it would be best to check in with them.

I think it's awesome that you're raising chickens in the city. Do you have enough space for them to run around? If not, I would consider limiting the number of chickens you get.

Thank you for joining our community, and I'll see you around!

Have an cellent day!

Oh! I didn't realize there was another city! We are in NE actually. Haha someone suggested googling the group I guess I didn't think to see if this was the right city! Thanks for the catch! This link came up under "Backyard chickens in Bellevue"

I have family who live in Bellevue, WA but didn't know if maybe there were multiple cities named Bellevue out there.
