This is Joe. He’s some far-flung relative I hear. These are two 4-week-old orphan goats that they’re raising. Baby goats bleat often and endearingly.

Question by Kate: What zoning classification do you need to raise chickens and goats?
We live in Albuquerque and are thinking of moving out of town. We’d love to have chickens and a goat or two and are looking at properties that have at least a few acres, but I can’t figure out what zoning allows this. Anyone know?

  1. You’re allowed to have chickens and goats anywhere as long as they do not disturb neighbors. I lived in a neighborhood and had a small yard with a pet goat. If you have a few acres then I’m sure you wont have any trouble with zoning.

  2. Agricultural. I live in Tijeras. They allow chickens here and in Edgewood. Call 281-4518 and ask for either Vivki or Mike in Animal Control and they can help you out. I believe Corrales allows it too.
