Hi fellow Wisconsinites
(Yeah Packers!!!! What an odd nailbiting game yesterday)
I am new here and am wondering if there is anyone on here from Eagle, WI. We live in the village of Eagle and I am wondering if anyone knows what the city ordinances are regarding chickens. Our original plan was to raise day olds and move them to my friend's coop (she probably has 50-75 chickens). But, I wonder if we have 2-3 hens if we could keep them in our backyard in a moveable coop. We live in a subdivision - 1 acre of land. My son wanted to try chickens for 4-H and we literally know nothing about them, but I thought it would be a nice livestock animal for him to have/show at the county fair. My company IT guy has chickens in his subdivision in New Berlin in a moveable coop and loves having them there - he keeps telling me we should do the same, but I want to check ordinances etc to make sure we don't get ourselves in trouble.
Thanks and I'm really enjoying reading all the information on this site!!!
