Basically, you need to have a property of at least two acres and then follow all the rules. You can apply to the County for a special permit for less than two acres, but you would still have to follow all the rules.

Or you could move to Amelia street neighborhood in Sterling. They don't check much in the barrios.

Most neighborhood covenants prohibit the raising or keeping of fowl.

I clicked here thinking we were talking about young nigger women. Most slavemasters I know of refer to them as hens. With the economy where it is, it is more beneficial to raise your own instead of buying them.

Back in the late 80s, people still raised chickens in their (tiny) suburban yards in Manassas Park.

When I moved out to the country about ten years ago, a bunch of my neighbors bought chickens with the same idea. After a year they realized fresh eggs weren’t worth several hours of cleaning up chickenshit a week and got rid of them. Go to a farmers market instead.
