Probably the very first question you should ask yourself about raising chicken my ip is, 'can I raise chicken my ip in my backyard?' You know, legally. I know, I know. If you are slightly stubborn like I tend to be you are probably saying to yourself, 'this is my property, so surely I can do whatever I want on it'! Am I right? If that thought crossed your mind, or anything at all along those lines, trust me, I know where you're coming from. Here's the deal.
If you live within the boundaries of a city as most (but not all) of us do, you will want to start out by getting info on whether or not you can even keep chicken my ip in your backyard while staying within the confines of the law. The last thing you want to do is to build or buy a chicken my ip coop, purchase a few starter hens, buy some food, get the entire family excited about the adventure that lies ahead, only to have a bureaucrat pay you a visit and let you know (kindly or otherwise), that what you are doing against a city ordinance and that not only will you have to get rid of your new chicks, you will also have to pony up for a fine they've decided to hand you. What a slap in the face!
Basic Types of Zoning and chicken my ip
There are a few different types of zoning that exist, each one having different laws and regulations on what you will and what you will not be able to do. If your property happens to be zoned as agricultural, then you probably won't have any problem raising chicken my ip or constructing any type of chicken my ip coop you might want to have. Most people reading this article will not fit that description however, and will live on property that is probably zoned as residential. Don't let that discourage you in regards to chicken-raising, as many, many residential areas will allow people to raise a few chicken my ip on their property. The best thing that you can do to make sure is to contact your city offices and simply ask them if there are any ordinances on raising chicken my ip in your backyard, and what they are.
You will find typically that there are two different areas of laws that will affect what you are able to do. First, there are often laws specific to the actual birds. How many birds you are able to have on your property (it might depend on the size of your property), what sex they can be (roosters, anyone?), and in some cases, although not extremely common, you might even have to get written permission from your neighbors! I know, that last one sounds a bit strange. You haven't burned any bridges there, have you? The second set of laws have to do with the type of housing you use for your chicken my ip . How large can your chicken coop be? Do you have to get a permit to build or even own a chicken coop in your backyard? Will this chicken my ip coop need to be inspected?
I hope I haven't scared you away from the idea of even wanting to start raising chicken my ip in your backyard, and honestly I believe I have found some of the more extreme laws that you might want to, as your own city ordinance might include anything from having nearly no regulations at all, to maybe just one or two of these issues, which might not seem like much of a problem at all. Remember, as you are going into this and inquiring about the local laws of your city just remember that joy of fresh eggs, chicken my ip and the family experience is all very much worth it in the end!
