If they are zoned rural rather than rural residential then they can have up to 6 household animals but still no poultry or livestock housed within 100 feet of anyone else's house.

It's very weird but their other neighbors have chickens and roosters. Honestly I don't know. I would tell them to go for it as long as it doesn't become a nuisance. They appear to be in an airport overlay and light industrial area weird

I think rural or residential can have poultry as long as their lot is big enough to build the coop and run so that it is far enough from any neighbors house.

Oh. Let me see if I can find zoning for that...

Until then...That the neighbors have poultry could mean it is legal or that it is illegal but not enforced or that the enforcers haven't noticed.

Friends wifen just told me when they got the place the realtor told them they can have up chickens and up to two goats.

6.10.010 Entire county designated stock restricted area.

It appears that it would be in the best interests of Cowlitz County and the residents thereof that Cowlitz County in its entirety be designated as a stock restricted area effective July 1, 1964.

On and after July 1, 1964, livestock shall not run at large within the boundaries of Cowlitz County, Washington. [Res. 381, 1-29-64.]

In thinking that the run at large means you can't have your livestock run all over the place. Also I don't know if livestock is separate than poultry. Thanks for the response though.

The exact amount is of concern but the picture is starting to make sense lol. They literally are zoned in a grey area on the map

There may be a home owners association in addition to the zoning.

I'd ask the realtor for documentation.

good luck, i have to go

I don't have a horse in the race, was only posting what I managed to scrape up on the internet.
