The Process

In order to allow chickens and ducks in BHR, there must be a formal update made to the Restrictive Covenants that are registered with Durham County.

The first step in the process is to obtain notarized signatures of home owners within the community. Don't Worry! The BHR Chicks & Ducks has a notary on the team that will notarize your signature for free!

The team will be holding signature times at the clubhouse, pool and even going door to door to come to you to make your participation easy!
