Kathy, do you have a daytime job? You're not doing this AND going to work, are you??
Cindi had to cancel with the Delawares, but instead, she is sending me Rhodels!! A few pure dels should be in there, too.

Well that won't be for a while yet and I still have the old coop
Nick, just wondering since you are in Atlanta if you are limited to a certin number of chickens. My BIL lives just north of me and he is still somewhat in the country but he is only allowed 10 I think.

Nick,
You can have 25. Pens or yards to be minimum of 50 feet away from any residence (5 ft from owner's residence). Housing must have a solid floor made of cement or other suitable washable material.
WOW, you can have 75 rabbits!
*Weird that they require 4 sq ft of space for rabbits and guinea pigs, but only 2 sq feet for each chicken!

25. That's it. Wow, I didn't know about all those other animals.
Kathy, it doesn't say no roosters on there, but I know we can't have them... Strange.

I think it is rather odd that the pen or yard has to be 50 feet from other residences. Seems like quite a distance to me. I dunno, maybe that is the norm.
No, I see no mention of roosters here either.
