Planning stage

[City Roost]

I'm looking into starting a coop for 4-6 hens. First stop is the North Richland Hills,TX Code office and see if this is even possible. A friend sent me a video of a group called "Coops for Troops" a non profit group that is involved with combat Veterans that have PTSD. I was raised near Lake Worth when it was "Country" and we always had an assortment of animals, including chickens, horses,
and several goats. I found this site thru Pinterest (Linked to a gardening site) I will update progress on my plan, Looking forward to input & advice from other members that are "Urban" farmers.
