Posted on May 4, 2020November 16, 2020 by The Good Life Homestead

I’ve wanted to raise chickens for years, but we live in a suburban neighborhood on 1/8th of an acre and to be honest I didn’t know we could legally keep chickens in town. I found out a few months ago that we actually can have chickens, but are limited to 6 hens and zero roosters. …
