Hello!!!
My classroom closed for distance learning and I needed to take the class incubated eggs home. My school incubates eggs to chicks every year and this is my first year teaching at this school! Well.... A week ago 6 chicks hatched! This is all new, exciting, and absolutely wonderful! I’ve been learning all I can about chick/ chicken care, daydreaming about expanding my family, coop buying, and life with chickens!
And then I discovered my city doesn’t allow chickens and I would need a permit to keep them.
Looking for others who may have applied for a permit and their experience and of course looking to meet other chicken lovers! So nice to be here and have found BYC!!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Congrats on the hatch! Sorry you have to deal with the laws however. @N F C has left you with the link to our Laws and Ordinances forums and help on getting them changed. Good luck, I hope you can keep them!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I live in an area where I can have as many chickens as I want.
Does your area allow them with a permit or are they not allowed at all?

Wow the freedom!
My area says no person shall keep chickens, gulp. And then goes on to say I may apply for a permit, in which the city health officer will come and inspect the premises and issue a permit or not and should it be denied I can appeal within 10 days- .... enter- sleepless nights.
