I went and checked coz i figured lame as this town is it would be illegal but found out im legal after all. Even roosters! Glad i checked out your post, thanks- quetsweyo

Depends on who you ask!! County says legal, home owners covenants say illegal. We don't have a HOA to enforce anything though.

Though there's a Wall Mart a mile away it's still legal here on this mere 1/3 acre lot. Even a rooster, though I'll make a judgment on that by noise when he's older. Nice to live in old farming communities, there isn't one restriction on farm animals and zoning.

No clue. We sit on the outskirts of "town". There are horses in this neighborhood and I've heard roo's. I think we might be legal, and our one new neighbor is very cool and has a soft spot for chickens having had one as a squad pet when stationed in Iraq. He didn't even bat an eyelash when my stepdaughter ran over to his yard (where her daddy was also) to show off the new chick we brought home this weekend lol.

I suppose I could call and ask but I'm so paranoid I'm afraid they'll trace my call and show up at my door lol....

Either way, I doubt anyone around here is going to complain. The "wild" animals make far more noise and what not than my sweet little chickens...
