Thanks! We are looking in Solon, Chagrin Falls and Hudson, they all allow chickens. Not sure about Pepper Pike, they were voting on it but I can't find the results.

Thanks! I have been looking in Solon? Do you like the schools and community?

Hello all, My family will be relocating to the Cleveland area from Missouri. I am trying to find out what suburbs of Cleveland allow backyard chickens. Most of the threads here and online are a few years old and hopefully laws have changed for some! Thanks for any help! Erica

we may not need approval for the chickens but the HOA strictly prohibits outbuildings of any kind (sheds, etc..dog runs). I found a plan for a coop that is basically an addition to existing house with same color and roof line so we will probably go that route. Hope they accept it!

Hello! We recently moved to Lee's Summit, MO and chickens are allowed in the city. We live in a neighborhood with an HOA but there is nothing stated about poultry in the bylaws. Is there anyone else that lives in Lee's Summit that has gained approval with their HOA to keep chickens?? Thanks! Erica

So far it has not been a problem, they are sharing the space. Should I go ahead and move the broody hen somewhere else in case the other hens decide...

I just replied to your link about your broody hen and putting the fertilized eggs in with her. Please check it out and respond to my questions. I realize it was posted in 2011 so not sure if the blog is still current. Thanks!!!

I have 3 pullets that do the same thing, they bunch together in a corner of the yard instead of going in the coop with the 4 big hens. I don't know if they are afraid of the big girls or just don't know to go up there. We put them in the coop every night. Did yours finally just figure it out...
