poll: are you legal or an outlaw?

[andalusn]

Legal,living the country life on 5 acres.

I really feel for the city folks, you can have chickens but seems like most rules are 4 tops. I don't know about you but 4 hens would not keep me in enough eggs if I was wanting big weekend breakfast and some baking. I like the city law for previous poster that said 13. As hens slow down you should still get a fair number each week to keep you and a friend happy when there is extra.

outlaw--- and most likely about to get in trouble for it. Cross your fingers for me!

Legal! We have 6.5 wooded acres and can see one other house in the summer and 2 in the winter when the leaves are off the trees.

Illegal apparently. Thought I was legal for almost a year, and found out yesterday I'm not. I did hours of research and failed to see an ordinance requiring 400 ft between dwellings for domestic animals, excluding cats and dogs. Had a neighbor complaint about noise. I have 3 chickens. This neighbor didn't hear them for a year, but if there's one or two bad days, chicken bocking really stands out. I'm so sad to find a new home for my three hens!

Legal

Legal with the city...technically not legal with the HOA, but there's a small loophole

Because my chickens are definitely pets, not livestock

Quite Illegal, but just starting the uphill battle of working on my city and its anti-chicken laws... i have a feeling it will be a hard road...

2 barred rocks and 2 black australorps!

definitely illegal- just got my zoning notice today (thanks to a neighbor who lives in the country but doesn't like chickens). Sigh. Hopefully I'll be able to change some laws here- or buy more property!
