Researching Before Committing

[Deedra]

Hello all. My name is Deedra. I am studying (sub)urban homesteading. Before committing to hen ownership, I want to research it fully to make sure it's something I can do, personally and legally, in my non-HOA neighborhood. I look forward to reading your collective experiences and knowledge. When the time comes, I look forward to sharing my experiences with the BackYardChickens community.

Hi, Deedra, welcome to BYC. Study the forums, ask questions, plan, and then if you decide to start a flock you will be successful.

Welcome to BYC. Kudos for doing research beforehand instead of jumping in head first like so many other folks.

Even though you are in a non-HOA neighborhood, you may want to look into any local/city/township ordinances/laws concerning keeping chickens. Good luck in your future endeavor!
