I complied a list of Chicago & Suburbs that allow back yard chickens. Let me know if any information needs updating:
Cities that allow backyard chickens
Chicago – No limit, no permit required
Downers Grove – 4 mature hens, no roosters, setback requirement on coop, no permit
Lombard – no...
I spoke to my alderman and it seems that he would be interested in presenting my case to the city council.
I was wondering if anyone had information prepared when they presented their case to the city?
Any research? Facts? Studies? That I could share to show they chickens are harmless pets...
Looking to see if anyone has started anything with Des Plaines IL. A google search shows I missed the boat as the city was debating it 7/2014.

I would like to rekindle the interest if anyone else lives in Des Plaines . . .
