Hello, I hope you all don't mind me joining even if I don't currently have any chickens. I'm really hoping and praying it's in my future though. My mom and I live together in Sparks NV (that's nestled right in next to Reno), and I'm frankly a little surprised she jumped on the chicken bandwagon so easily. Her family had some when she was growing up in Sacramento though, and I know she's fond of her sister's Silkies.
If we end up being able to get chickens, it might be a year or more, but I think I can manage to wait, ha! Our first obstacle will be zoning ordinance. My county's code is easily a "yes," but as far as city, I'm not sure yet. They are allowed in ag and one of the residential zones, but I'm not clear on what we are classified as yet. Will have to check on that. I do know our area used to be an ag zone, and that we we were fairly recently re-zone because some idiot just had to build apartments behind us.
I want to do this right and be absolutely bulletproof before we start. I'm going to check into the Nevada thread also and ask, but is anyone here familiar with Sparks' ordinances?
OK, so that wasn't at all long-winded, was it?
Random non-chicken information: I have a Bachelor's of Fine Art, work grudginlg in a warehouse, and would much rather be drawing and painting. Thank you all for list...er, reading, this!
