Just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I'm living in Lakewood Park, Florida. I'm thinking about building a chicken coop for around 5 egg laying hens but not sure on the local ordinance. Does anyone know if caged egg laying hens are allowed in Lakewood Park, Florida?

Couldn't find where specifically prohibited in your city, but did find this in town ordinances: 9.52.080 Animals or birds.
No person shall keep or maintain or permit the keeping of, on any premises owned, occupied or controlled by such person, any animal or bird otherwise permitted to be kept, which by frequent or habitual howling, barking, meowing, squawking or other noise unreasonably disturbs the peace and quiet of any neighborhood or causes discomfort or annoyance to any person. (Ord. O-86-42 § 1 (part), 1986).
