Wow... thanks for checking into it for me! I have all of my paperwork in one place and will look over it as soon as I get home to see if there's anything in there about covenants. I guess it's possible that it's in the fine print on the deed... we'll see.

There's no HOA, but the guy that owns the development corporation lives 4 houses down from me. They are still adding on to the subdivision, but my house is 13 years old. I thought he was the one that could amend the rules... but if all the lots are sold, it's up to the homeowners. I'm not sure how I'd do that... get them to sign a petition?

That's true... it's not "illegal", so the worst they could do is make me get rid of them. If I go that route, my dad agreed to take them if I had to give them up.

Thanks again for calling and getting info!

I would just get the chickens. I do not recommend trying to amend any of the rules. If someone complains then I would look into amending what needs to be changed. I would also plant some large trees so that the nosey neighbor can not look down in your yard lol.

Go for it Chad76. Just don't get a rooster.

We've actually put up a trellis and grown ivy on it to partially block our back patio from view. We also planted some red tipped photinias (I'm guessing on that spelling)... but they are taking forever to grow! When they stand next to their house, the top of our 6' fence is just above their waste. There's only a small area that he can stand where it's like that... but he spends a lot of time in that one spot!

Maybe try planting bamboo. Some varieties can get over a hundred feet tall, and they grow pretty fast.

And, if you want quiet birds, do NOT get silkies. i have one hen that sounds like a jack hammer on steroids, and likes to scream for hours every morning. Why? i have no idea.
