SEE! This is what y'all get for ignoring me all the time. I have posted several times that you can check municode.com and pick your jurisdiction. Funny thing about Gordon County.... Their definition of livestock does not include the words poultry or fowl. And the best I can figure, you gotta have 5 acres there, too.

That's what I have also determined. From talking to a friend the new regs are addressing the "under 5 acres" problem to allow chickens on smaller tracts of a half acre up to 5 acres...if so that would be good but the no selling of chickens/eggs would be a bad idea in my opinion.
 
So this morning hubby and I have been talking about chicken stuff.. Hatching, selling eggs, NPIP.. All that stuff. He says I need to make a fb page for bird stuff to keep it separate from my own profile. When I asked what I should name it, he thought for a moment and comes out with..

"Crazy Chicken Lady"?

Umm excuse me! YOU'RE the one that started this whole convo on the first place! :lau

yeah I don't think that name is a very good choice.



It should be CarCar the Crazy Chicken Lady, so that you'll be unique from all the other crazy chicken lady pages out there

I can't figure out what zone I live in. My address says Villa Rica. My wife had to go to Carrol county to her ID. We get our water from Douglas county. We are on the Douglass county side of the sign you pass when you cross into the next county...
But going off of what I read online I can only have 6 chickens

Thank y'all for providing me such interesting, funny, exciting read!
I live in Paulding and just got my 3 chickens last March as baby chicks and the are still laying ... You think they will molt before spring?
Also, I wanted to add 2 chickens this year and I'm worried now... My 3 are super!! Leghorn ( my favorite), silver wyandotte and production red. They live in a pen with a rabbit that runs around with them and are very healthy.... My red is not into being picked up or petted but the others are!! I love that I can tell which egg comes from which chicken and so that's my goal in adding 2 more... I need docile hearty colored egg layers. .... But I'm worried about messing up a good thing!!
Another problem is that it's hard to find anyone to sell just one or two chicks... Most need to sell at least 6....
I'm thinking an Easter egger but open to any chicks that fall in my qualifications ...
Also, how do y'all deal with all the mud from the rain ? the chickens keep the ground so mulched ... So basically muddy. I have added wheat straw, pine straw, wood chips, diatomaceous earth, ---- but it has just blended together to make a loose wet muddy ground.
Thank y'all again for helping to make this a wonderful site !

I have good luck adding a DEEP layer of pine shavings, but then all my runs have a 2x4 band around the bottom to hold it all in. I put some in the open run spaces too but of course it gets scratched everywhere. Still, it helps alleviate the immediate lake effect of it all.

what county do you pay taxes in? most counties have a tax assessors map you can look up your property in. From the sounds of it, being she had to go to Carroll County for the ID, I'd say carroll right off, but, that could be just because you have a Villa Rica address. There are places that have Rockmart address but are in Paulding County.....the longer I live in this stupid state the more I consider moving to Alabama....

Research quietly if you want, but I definitely wouldn't ask anyone in any kind of government position.. If you know what I mean. Better to play dumb, especially if your plans are to stay a backyard keeper. :)

go over to the DLM thread and do some reading, lots and lots of good info in there. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/70/deep-litter-method/1920#post_15841274

after building my coop/run, it started raining.....we'd just moved here and I wasn't totally aware that was the lowest spot in the yard until it was standing in water. I put 5 inches of wood chips in, and I've layered in grass clippings and leaves. While the uncovered part obviously stays wet, it doesn't stand in water any more. the loose stuff is probably 7 or 8 inches deep in there, they keep it turned and there is literally no 'chicken' smell at all
