Raise chickens in a city?
Many can. It’s not against the law here in Albuquerque for instance. If fact they have been having trouble with chicken thieves and vandels here
my boss lives in town (idaho falls 60,000) his hens are laying about 11 eggs per day he brings us eggs ever FREAKING day
on the other hand the town i live in (about 3000) has BANNED chickens
Chickens are popular now, many cities will allow a few...there is a website called “backyard chickens” that tries to keep up with laws and ordinances about chickens...
The local Sam’s Club in my suburban SoCal city actually sells chicken coops.
Same question here, as most farm animals are banned inside city limits. As for gardening and canning, yes if you can keep it on the QT...remember the not so safe, 2010 Food Safety Act.
“Raise chickens in a city?”
Sure. They don’t take up much space, assuming you have a yard. NYC and LA both allow hens. Here is an article on livestock regulations in LA:
In reality, you can raise whatever you want so long as your neighbors don’t complain.
Yep. ‘The People’s Republic of Madistan’ allows 4 laying hens, no roosters.
I live 10 miles south, have a small farm, and haven’t had to buy a hen in 10 years. I’m the go-to gal when the hispters tire of cleaning up after the messy birds, LOL!
Works for me. :)
Sure just make sure the roosters go into the fryer before they become alarm clocks.
It helps if you've got a fenced yard.
Put a lock on the coop too.
This might help too.
