I'm right across the street from city limits so I'm pretty sure I'm legal!

I am in the same boat - if I was in the City of Decatur part of DeKalb, GA I could have a good sized flock. Even on a small lot. But because I live in unincorporated DeKalb, on 1 1 /2 acres, I am an outlaw.

Makes a lot of sense huh?

Hello Everyone!

BackyardChickens.com and its members are compiling a database listing hundreds (eventually thousands) of cities’ chicken laws and ordinances and we need YOUR HELP! All BYC members are invited to participate by submitting entries from our list of cities.

Now we can all know if we are legal or not for sure!

Legal, but I can only have four birds, no roosters, and have a building permit for my coop. Im also not allowed to free range so my bidies must stay in thier enclosed run.

I want to move out to the country soooo bad. I want to sneek them out, even just for a little while, but my neighboor so a code enforcer so I can't.

Are you sure they must be in an enclosed run? In most cases tehy merely must remain onn your property, not running at large (which means out of your control AND off your property.

I live in a rural suburb, if that is possible?? Anyway, according to our township zoning

Nothing contained in this Resolution shall prohibit the use of any land for agricultural purposes or the construction or use of buildings or structures incidental to the use for agricultural purposes of the land on which such buildings and structures are located. Furthermore, no Zoning Permit shall be required for any such use, building or structure.

Yep, even in the "urban" area's, lol. We have one neighbor who loves the chickens, I'm glad because they've always been good neighbors and I didn't want to upset them. And one neighbor who hates them, which is good because they drive me crazy and are total buttholes all the time, and their kid has been known to destroy my plants, and they scream and yell all day long at their kids. I derive just a bit of satisfaction knowing my rooster (who really isn't very loud) is annoying them.​
