I had just received a letter from the township but I don't understand it so here it is this is only the part about the chickens:

change in use (raising chickens on the property) also remove coop.




upon the effective date of this article , no building shall hereafter be used, erected , altered , converted ,enlarged , added to , moved or reduced , nor shall any lands be be subdivided ,developed ,in any manner except in conformity with the standards provided herein , as applied to the zoning district in which the building or land is located .



so if you guys can pliz tell me and my parents what this means and what we can do also how and why this affects us even though we have ben doing this for may years now . ? if you can and I promise I wont bother you again about this

Is the first line "change in use" part of the wording of the ordinance, or is that yours? Can you scan or take a photo of the clause so we can see it in full context? You obviously have to know your zoning district, and make sure the clause you're quoting applies to you. If they only sent you this little bit, it is confusing. Ask them to send you the ordinance in its entirety, or ask where you have to go to see the ordinance and get a full copy - probably town hall. Also, like sunnychooks said, ask them what constitutes a building - sometimes it's defined as a permanent structure on a concrete foundation, but not something like a coop or shed. Also, remember to always be polite and unemotional about this issue when dealing with the township. You want to give them the impression that you're trying to conform to the law, and are just trying to fully understand it.

Anyone want 4 adorable runner ducklings? I can bring them to the show they are cute. I've been tossing around the idea of getting a couple ducks. I really like the manderin though. Have you had any experience with them?

Mandarin ducks from my experience are very flighty and more of an ornamental type bird than a pet. They are great for aviaries with small decorative ponds.
