No permit needed-just make sure you have enough square footage on your property and a proper sized coop!

No roosters allowed.

The only time my hens are really singing their egg song is around 10-10:30am

Check out r/backyardchickens for other tips.

I’m also happy to help out-I live in the city and have had chickens for a year now :) feel free to DM

Yes I think it’s 1200 sq foot or greater lot gives you up to 5 hens (or 2 goats) by-right. I was looking into that possibility when house hunting.

I appreciate it! I've had chickens for several years in a rural area, but never in a city so never really had to consider permits or courtesy toward neighbors before

Oh, excellent-I thought you were starting from scratch. You should be all good then so long as you have the space!

People are always so interested in our birds when they walk by (our yard faces an alleyway) so be prepared for some gawkers lol 😂
