I've not been getting many eggs. All I've been saving the last month are going to Mom. She can't eat store eggs. She really wants to try a few baked goods recipes.

I'm really hoping for some girls in the 6 chicks I hatched. I need replacements.

Hi! Hopefully I'm using the state thread correctly, but please let me know if this isn't the best place.

I currently own a house in the midwest have two pet chickens (both hens). I have a huge yard and plenty of the room for them to roam outside during the day and a run and coop for them at night. But my husband and I will likely have to move to the Tacoma area soon. We won't be buying because it's way out of our price range and we also aren't sure it will be a long-term enough move to warrant it. I'm looking for answers to two questions mainly:

1. What cities/areas are my best chances of a rental that would allow them? I'm thinking an area that's not too suburban/modern, but a more rural area or even a historic neighborhood (what I currently live in), away from Seattle (so south of Tacoma maybe? Sorry, my geography of the area is not good).

2. Is there a way, when searching rentals, to see if chickens (outdoor only) are allowed by the landlord? If anyone has a good real estate agent or property management company, that would be so helpful too.

I'm pretty distraught at the thought of having to give them up! But if anyone thinks that may be the only answer, please also let me know so I can start coming to terms with it. Thank you!

Thank you, @penny1960! Yes he is military so close to his work at base is important. I work finance so imagine I may have a farther commute if we live somewhere quieter, which is okay. I will look into those, thank you!
