Anyone out there raising chickens in Perrysburg or Perrysburg Township in Ohio? I moved to Perrysburg Township from Toledo a year ago. I used to have a flock of backyard chickens at my Toledo home. I LOVED having my girls around and eating the fresh eggs! I am running into resistance with getting a flock started at my new home. The zoning department states that I need to get permission from my neighbors first. Unfortunately I have some VERY crabby old neighbors. They already complained to the zoning department about my beautiful split rail fence we had installed for the safety of our pets and young son (we had permit and profession local company do the work), not sure why they were so mad about it, as the rest of the homes around them also have a split rail fence. They also complained to us personally about our garden. Very strange people is putting it mildly. Our yard is clean, free of clutter, and very beautiful. ANYWAY, I am thinking that asking forgiveness vs permission might be the best route to take. My yard is huge and I would be putting the chickens far from the neighbors but I know they are going to have a fit. Does anyone know what the fees are for having chickens without permission? I am considering just paying the fees just so I don't have to deal with Mr and Mrs Crabs haha.
