    Turkey Tom with swollen wattle

    It's been several days and the swelling seems to have gone down a little. We have bees on the property so it's possible he got a little too close to one. He is our only tom, so fighting probably wasn't an issue and he is acting perfectly normal. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

    Cities in Ohio that have legallized pet chickens

    Does anyone know what cities in Ohio have legalized chickens to be kept as pets? I am looking at trying to change my cities ordinances again and this information would be helpful. Last time I had a go at this was almost 4 years ago and a lot has changed in that time.

    Chickens at Pet Stores?

    Quote: Sorry for the silence the last few days, my wife and I have been discussing options. Yes, we can appeal it to Common Pleas Court. The other route we can take would be to do a referendum on the ballot. They may have won the battle, but, I'm not saying that they have won the war yet...

    Chickens at Pet Stores?

    Quote: yes, we're somewhat the same way. Our busy lifestyle prohibits us from getting a dog, but I do love turtles and I have always wanted a giant tortoise.

    Chickens at Pet Stores?

    Quote: See, the problem is, you're using logic to support that chickens are a pet. The city doesn't want chickens to be a pet, so they're defining it in their own way.

    Chickens at Pet Stores?

    Quote: I actually plan on bring that up as well. If the committee finds that we are conducting husbandry by simply having them I'm going to state that they need to dismiss all domestic animals across the board.
