What are YOUR laws?

I belive where I live you can have 80 or more chickens(can't remember the exsact number) But I know that as long as all the animals have food and water then I can even have as many as I want. I can even have roos

Hey everyone,

I'm still working to get things changed in Worthington, but we had something really horrible happen on Sunday. Somebody came into our yard while we were away. They cut the poultry netting on our coop and put two dogs inside. Hillary, Veronica and Cindi are dead.

This came at a time when there was real enthusiasm from the community on getting the ordinance changed. I still want to continue the work, but god I feel deflated now. All the more important to keep going.

Thanks for all your help and support.

-Andy

Here is an excerpt from the Tulsa City Ordinances dealing with keeping animals - I just copied the part that deals with Poultry.

"SECTION 200. AGRICULTURAL ANIMALS--COWS, GOATS, SHEEP, HOGS, HORSES, POULTRY AND RABBITS

D. Poultry kept in areas zoned for agriculture (AG) must be in pens or buildings located at least one hundred (100) feet from an adjoining property line.

E. Poultry kept in areas not zoned for agriculture shall not exceed six (6) adults and fourteen (14) chicks under the age of eight (8) weeks, and must be kept under the following conditions:

1. The fowl must be kept in a building which at its nearest point is no closer than fifty (50) feet to any adjoining residence;

2. The floors of such building shall be of easily-cleanable construction, and shall be maintained in a sanitary condition not offensive or dangerous to the public health by routinely cleaning and properly disposing of the droppings; and

3. The outside openings of the building shall be screened to prevent the spread of disease by flies and vermin."

There is a separate notice about Nuisance animals. It doesn't name any specific animal, but I think D below could include roosters if neighbors found crowing a nuisance.

"Nuisance shall mean any animal which habitually commits any one or a
combination of the following acts:
A. Scratches or digs into any flower bed, garden, tilled soil, vines, shrubbery or small plants and in so doing injures the same;

B. Overturns any garbage can or other vessel for waste products or scatters the contents of same;

C. Chases any person or domestic animal, or kills any domestic animal;

D. Barks, howls, brays or makes any other loud or offensive noise common to its species or peculiar to itself, so as to disturb the inhabitants of the community;

E. Is at large."

Edited to add:
Ooooh....I just saw what happened to your clucks rozmiarek - what a horrible, mean, heartless, cruel thing for someone to do. I'm so sorry!

Seriously, if you ever find out who did it, I hope you can take them to court for the sick thing that that did.

Does anyone know if you can have chickens in Marlton, NJ? I really want some but I have my parents and the law(possibly) stopping me.

I'm speechless. Certainly sounds like criminal intent to me. Did you call the police?
