as I recall, within the city limits of Charlotte, you cannot have roosters, you can only have a few hens, the coop must be inspected by the city code people and you have to pay an annual fee of like $50.00. Please look at the actual city code for details.
BTW: you can often get chickens at the pound....just FYI...they are full grown (usually) and only $2.00 apiece!
Anyone know where to go to get ordinances for Charlotte? I am trying to determine if chickens (hens) can legally be kept in my urban backyard. Thanks.
Try your city hall. They will have ordinances available. When I lived in Florida, there were chickens around banks, places of business, and neighborhoods. Seems like the Mexicans liked fresh meat when they ate.
Thanks for all of the info....and thanks to bs13690 for that link....that's exactly what I needed! Okay, so now the fun begins....any idea how to go about trying to change the ordinances??? LOL The line that indicates "the coop must be a minimum of 25 feet from the property line" is somewhat restrictive....
You could big a large coop and live inside of it. Then you could have a bunch of kids, do volunteer work and then get a free house from ABC. Sorry, I went off on a tirade again...

Too funny....ok on a serious note....any idea how to find out the date that an ordinance was put in place?
