Welcome to BYC. Realistically only your municipality can answer your question or perhaps a lawyer.

Do you think a bad neighbor could be paid off eventually with free eggs? That works for some chicken folks.

Maybe - I'll give it a try once I find out if my plans are technically legal. Thanks!

Best of luck, I hope you'll be able to raise a flock and some meat rabbits!

Hi BYC! I'm a resident of Johns Creek, GA. I have no experience with raising chickens (I'm planning on raising meat rabbits also) and I joined to see if I could get some information about the restrictions for raising livestock in Johns Creek. I believe that there is a coming food shortage and I want to get out ahead of it!

There is already a post about confusion regarding the Johns Creek regulations versus the R3 zoning regulations. I can build following the Johns Creek regulations by placing my coop more than 100 feet from any neighbor, but I can't do it 200 feet, as the R3 zoning seems to demand. The post doesn't have any conclusive answers about which rule applies. Does anyone know if I can actually build the coop and get started, or will I run afoul of the zoning restrictions? I'd hate to get started just to find out that I'm forced to tear it down.

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to BYC! Fresh eggs are always a good bribe to keep the neighbors quiet!
Thanks for joining our flock!
