Dave,
City finally passed an ordinance here which states that you can have up to 5 chickens. They must have a cage. They can wander but have to have a coup.
I’m against my neighbors ever having any. I think Sally would kill herself trying to get to them.
I think a goat would come in handy though.

    Cities allow chickens in Oregon too but not roosters.

    Doesn't a coop prevent a coup?

    Tumwater allows chickens, but the neighborhood covenants don't. They won't make my next door neighbor mow his lawn, but they jump all over anyone with "barnyard" animals. Sigh.

    Skip, you need to study up on these things seeing you're moving to that upscale farm. You don't want to start a coup in the coop.

    Wow Dave a bit silly to me. One cool demonstration I saw on some property with enough room for a bigger garden was a "chicken tractor". Basically a device with some chicken wire around it and some wheels to allow it to be moved done the row of a garden between rows of plants. The chickens eat up the bugs,slugs,weeds etc as it is moved. And of course provide some "organic" fertilizer along the way too.
    Wonder Kelly if that would suffice as a "coop". I can see the rules against roosters but otherwise I find them less annoying than some "yappy" backyard dogs.

    Oh and around Portland OR they allow backyard beehives too. We mostly get along that way.
