    Tonight - board of zoning appeals meeting on my chickens in OHIO

    Quote: I cannot speak for your town but in mine the zoning regs have a specific definition of what is poultry. The regs are then silent about whether you can have them or not in my zone. As it has been explained to me a couple of times....if something is not specifically permitted then it is...

    Tonight - board of zoning appeals meeting on my chickens in OHIO

    I'm in the same boat...go for it!!! I will be making almost the same argument here in CT. Our chickens are pets, pets , PETS and very common. As long as all reasonable measures have been taken to keep the nuisance factor to a minimum.... what's the problem????

    Well the anti-chicken forces prevailed at the P&Z meeting tonight even though there were HALF as many of them as there were those who supported the measure to keep 12 chickens on more than 1/2 an acre with 4 sq ft in the coop and 15 sq feet in the run and keeping the coop more than 25 feet from...
