Been a while since I've been on... I know a lot of people dont recommend it but I picked up my chicks at tractor supply. Also, just to cover my bases as far as being legal, I registered them with the MD department of agriculture. It's free and they mail you a paper license to prove youre legit. They also contact you if there are any serious avian disease outbreaks...

I did this too. I think there was a link online to download the form and mail it in.

I moved to St Mary's in 2014, but just recently got the chicken bug. My realtor told me that there are no regulations about them since the county is mostly farm land.... I did not know about the license

I live in Calvert and I am officially a part of the chicken underground lol. We're on slightly under an acre and you have to have three acres to own chickens.

I have some extra porcelain d'uccles for sale if you're interested. Also, there's a MD thread that is active.

I'd recheck that.. most of the state is 2000 Sq ft lot. 3 acres you can have livestock.
