Is it againt the law in the whole city of Salem or just Marion County, Salem. I'm in Polk County, Salem. I'm up in the hills of West Salem, a couple miles past the high school. Just curious. I think I'll be calling someone with the city on Tues. I cant find any info about this on their website or any info on the internet.
I have 10 two week olds and40 eggs in the incubator right now and would be so upset if I have to get rid of them. I honestly didnt think about any of this because we came from Portland a couple years ago and had them there. Figured could have them here since there is way more agriculture/farm here. Go figure!!
I am in Marion County and the code is written that "any bird or furbearing animal including livestock and poultry in not allowed in salem city limits including the Salem Kiezer Urban Growth Boundry.
For your area I would call Polk county planning or public works. Find out about what zone you are in and what is the code for chickens. Or if all your neighbors are ok with your chickens dont worry about it even the nieghbors that would be able to hear hens cackling over the eggs they just laid. I know others keep chickens in Salem, the have accepting neighbors.
Nice. I'll look into that. They have moved the "City Limits" sign closer to my house a couple of months ago. It's about 150ft away from my property now
Vultures!! I appreciate the advice. I'll keep you informed of what they say.
