New guy in Jacksonville fl

[duffy1298]

hi everyone. My wife and I are looking to raise a few hens for eggs. We live in the Mandarin area in Jacksonville, Florida. I keep hearing opposing answers to whether or not it is illegal. Can anyone point me in the right direction or let me know the rules around here? Thanks
