I'm wanting to know how many chickens I am allowed to keep on my property. I hear a lot of chit chat about "Oh I can have 2 pigs, 1 cow, 12 chickens etc." but I want to know what *I* can have.

I'm in South Carolina. Anyone around here know anything about it?

Any websites I can check out? I did a lot of searching online but can't find much!

Thanks!
 
It is usually regulated by local municipalities, as a zoning issue (occasionally under the public health code in cities). Some are online, but the simplest thing is to call your the municipal office of your township or county and ask.

Mind, if you do not get the answer you want, you might try going down there and seeing if they can SHOW YOU where it says that, or get access to the zoning regs to read up on it yourself, as they're not always right... but if they tell you you will be ok than you prolly will be ok.

Good luck,

Pat
 
My town has all of it's municipal code on it's website...took a long time to wade through it all, but I finally discovered I can have 12 hens/no roos and the coop has to stay "clean" at all times.
