So I have 6 hens, 2 months old. One had developed a short cough/hack occasionally which I think I caused from dust because I read somewhere to mix DE in with the bedding. Now I have noticed another chicken does it. There are zero other symptoms from any of them other than the two that will...
So I am in the process of setting up my coop, I have one but the ground has been to soft to get machine and unload it. I still have stuff to do: Clean and paint the coop, figure out how I am doing their waterers (I want to use a rain barrel system), figure out how I want to do the bedding...
So I have been looking into getting chickens or ducks (I'm leaning towards ducks) for a while. My fiance messaged me about a coop he found today that someone is selling (will post a pic). He left the guy a message but we haven't heard back yet, in the event we do end up buying it I have some...

To anyone still following this. I have recently been speaking to a councilman about this, he called me today after he met with the new mayor and the legal director. According to him, they all agreed with my original interpretation that the agricultural ordinance only applied to district S-5, not...
Is there anyone on here from the Eastlake? I know when I dealt with the city about chickens when I first brought my house they had mentioned other people in the city had been caught keeping chickens. I am debating trying to get them to change the ordinances but wanted to know if there were any...
Did you ever get anywhere with this? I live in Eastlake and have the same issue, according to our ordinances district S-5 can "raise domestic animals (such as fowl) on lots over 10 acres", I am in district R-60 and the ordinances for my district say nothing at all about raising fowl. When I...
Let me know how that goes, I am having the same issue in Eastlake except the mayor told me they were more concerned with the budget than allowing chickens. If you find any information sheets around the web for use with this kind of thing let me know as well. I am going to start looking for some...
We are allowed to have sheds, it's more uncommon not to have them. I did email the mayor about how both the Euclid and Cleveland chicken programs work and he said he was forwarding it to the city council. He did happen to mention they were more concerned about the budget though.
I started another thread on here looking for other local people to find out more about their ordinances and/or fights to change them. When I contacted the mayor about it he said they weren't allowed and quoted the the original S-5 district ordinance but seemed open to changing it the way another...

I would like to talk to some people in the Cleveland area about your chickens! My mom was one of the first people to sign up for Euclids program when they first decided to try allowing chickens, that was a few years ago, she still has them and I think is up to six now. Anyway, I live in Eastlake...
