Hey all! I don't have chickens...yet. First I have to convince the township. I live in a semi rural area in south central PA on a half acre lot, zoned agricultural. My neighbors all have 1/4 to several acre lots. (My back door neighbor is a small farm with sheep, a pony and chickens!) I'm not allowed chickens because the ordinance says the lot size has to be a full acre.
Anyway, I'm gathering info and doing my homework so I have the knowledge needed to approach the zoning board to allow a variance or even change the law. I'm hoping all y'all can give me some good advice and soon, like you, I'll have some backyard chicken friends!
PS - My son lives in the Fountain Square area of Indianapolis (almost downtown!) on a tenth acre and he can have chickens! Crazy!
