How many chickens do you have in a urban setting?
Just curious. I live on the outskirts of small town (1.5 blocks away is woods!) in MI. I do live on a city block, but my lot is 150 ft wide and 275 feet deep.
Our ordinances are very vague, but I don’t want trouble with anyone. I personally talked with my neighbors and they said they were willing to let me try having chickens. As long as they aren’t to noisy/or stinky they are fine with it. I got 6 chicks (all hens!) but I’m wondering if that’s going to be too much. It’s easy to underestimate when you see them small, but they are getting so big!
Any ideas on the best way to keep the noise down? I have barred rock, Orpington and EE as I heard they were quieter?
I just want happy neighbors, and to not have the cops called on me!
