Trying to Change the Chicken Ordinance in Boca Raton FL

[Latestarter]

It's not generally a good idea to post the same question in multiple places as this is what can happen... As luck would have it, I saw your other post first and posted there with some links. Welcome.

I have never had to write letters to get ordinances changed. Definitely post in our Laws and Getting them Changed forums. I wish you the BEST of luck!!

In addition to the previously mentioned forum, I'd suggest adding a post about your situation on your state thread. You could very well find local support and additional suggestions from other members in FL.

Best of luck to you!

Agree with NFC, you may find others in your state who will rally round you. Hope you will be successful. If a huge city like Chicago can allow chickens (even roosters) why can't Boca Raton? Shame on them.

I posted my question in the forum... hopefully I can get some guidance there! Thank you all so much! With any luck I will get to keep my girls and will keep you updated!

Were you able to keep your chickens? I don't understand this rule. You're allowed to have a dog who barks but not a few chickens?

There are some places that don't allow birds and some that do but likely only females, no males. I had to give up my birds when I joined the military. When I got out I moved to an area where birds weren't allowed (now they are). Since We bought acreage in another place where I could have my birds. There are organizations such as CLUCK (Citizens Lobbying for Urban Chicken Keeping). There are chapters around. There are also some good threads on BYC about the processes. Good luck and have fun...
