The Legal Side: Help finding county regulations

[fowlweatherfriends]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to locate online the codes etc. for my local county? I am in a rural area where there are many small family farms. I am interested in finding out the laws/requirements in reference to chicken coop location, amount of chickens, and similar questions.

What exactly should I be google-ing-using what specific key words? I think it would be a great idea to have a thread titled The Legal Side, or something similar in order to help educate new chicken people and update everyone with the legal aspects of chicken ownership.

Thanks for any help in advance-I can't seem to use the right words in google to find my local regulations.

Try calling your local Animal Control Department, or go to their website. They should know the code regarding chickens. Since you live in a rural area, I don't think you'll have much to worry about-it's the towns that really have the tough codes!

I'm sure your town clerk can tell you.
