Newbie here

[KarenJean]

Hi, I am Karen and I will be moving to Hagerstown MD area within the year to be near one of my daughters. I am a somewhat efficient master gardener and with the prospect of the area I am moving to I am really excited about raising chickens for personal use. Really fresh eggs are the best. So I have been searching looking for ordinances regarding chickens and coops. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Good morning, Karen, and welcome to BYC. Try posting this question in the Maryland state thread. Good luck with the move and in establishing your flock.
