Hello everyone it has been a spell since I posted but I have been battling health issues. Then I had to deal with a new City Ordinance. I had a Animal Control Inspector come by my house and ask if I had a permit to raise my chickens. I said no never had one and been raising chickens for 40 years in town. Well needles to say I had to come up to the new city code. I had to reduce my flock by 50 percent. I lowered it from 60 to 30.
I am only allowed 9 hens and 1 rooster per coop, And I had to totally tear down and rebuild everything. She only gave me 14 days to do it in or I risk losing my whole flock and not getting a permit.
We did it! It was definitely a challenge and I got my permit.
The animal control officer said they are cracking down on anyone raising chickens inside city limits across the nation. So Backyard chicken raises be prepared. Oh and for any one raising ducks, mine were NOT allowed inside city limits.
I never thought I would see this day, but unfortunately it is here. Lot of new regulations coming in several locations across the nation. Here are pics of my new runs and coops.
