Hi All,
I have wanted chickens for years, but live in a part of Atlanta that requires two acres of land to have them. I don't have two acres, hence, no chickens. But we are moving to Lake County IL soon, and I want to find a town or area that allows BYC. From what I can tell, I must have five acres to have chickens, but on my first trip up there, I saw horses everywhere, many on smaller lots than five acres. What gives?
I have tried to find a post that already addresses my questions, but didn't see one, so I apologize if this is a repeated question for y'all.
So, all you Lake County IL folks, what are my options in terms of towns/cities/rural areas?
Thanks so much!
My next step is calling every zoning board to ask the question. I have already ruled out a lot of towns through online research, but I am looking for some place, somewhere up there that allows the chickens!
Thanks so much!
Megan
