Hi!
I live in Warren County, OH. Based on the laws of Warren county, any land parcel under 3 acres can have NO chickens. I wrote to the township and zoning office and they both basically told me there is nothing they can do. I also wrote to the county commissioner, but haven't had a response yet. I wrote a letter bringing up all the positive aspects of chicken husbandry, and I also added regulations from a township close to here so they could have a basis of what I'm asking for. Basically 4 hens, no roosters, with limits on how far away the coops have to be from property lines and houses.
Has anyone been able to change their county's rules and regulations regarding chickens? If so, how did you do it?
