From specific regulations to urban climate and predatory risks, Baltimore City presents unique challenges for chicken keepers. Although much of the information available from Bmore Chickens is applicable to chicken keeping in other geographic areas, Bmore Chickens is focused on the programs and challenges of keeping chickens as pets only in Baltimore City. 

Bmore Chickens periodically checks on the continued accuracy of all Baltimore City and Maryland state regulatory information and external links to resources. Please contact us regarding any outdated information or broken hyperlinks.

Bmore Chickens is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis, care, and treatment. When dealing with poultry illness or disease, always seek professional veterinary help for your chickens.
