2020 Parma, OHIO - Can we get enough support to change the ordinance on having backyard chickens?

Definitely should be aloud seeing how sterns farm has chickens turkeys and ducks

Is there any progress on this? Any proposal on the books? I want to get this changed ASAP. Cleveland, North Olmsted, Euclid, Old Brooklyn, and even Strongsville (with enough acreage) allows hens. Why not allow them in Parma? On that matter, can we maybe get quail allowed? They lay eggs like crazy and even the males make a pleasant, mostly quiet, crowing noise. No neighbor would ever complain about such pleasant little creatures, especially since quail are ground dwellers that naturally try to hide from prey.

I did notice pigeons are allowed, so I see no reason why chickens or at least quail should be too.

My family has been raising all sorts of chickens, ducks, and quail for 8 years in rural areas. We just bought a house in Parma, and would love to have at least SOME form of egg laying bird allowed. Parma seems a bit backwards and behind the times compare to their Cleveland area neighbors. Where can I attend and help educate officials on the benefits of backyard hens?

With the increasing and shifting scene regarding food security, it is becoming more and more obvious that we need to be able to have access to meat/protein sources. Backyard chickens in Parma, OH would be a great source. Is there enough interest in this? Please join the conversation and lets see if we can get enough support to change the ordinance.

Yes we should be able to have chickens as long as they are treated humane

Yes! I had chickens for years in Parma. Today the councilman knocked on my door and told me that I need to get rid of them bc a neighbor from the other side of the street complained only bc its illegal. I want to keep my chickens. This law is absolute nonsense!

I would like to see the ordinance change. I would like to have a couple chickens for eggs . Something I’ve never experienced I think it would be great especially in times like this when you don’t know what is going on with the food your buying at least u can have a little clarity with your eggs. Lol

Lest organize, collect and over throw this. Please get in touch with me. [email protected] I am planning to go to city hall this upcoming week.

Yes let’s change the ordinance to allow the ownership of chickens in Parma ohio!
You’ve mentioned that you sent out an email regarding the proposed legislation but that was made in 2017 with no progress in the near future.
So I’ve done some research on different cities like North royalton, city of Cleveland and brunswick, Strongsville and more all allow the ownership of chickens and all are close to parma.
If you’re interested we can contact city council with a proposal and regulations regarding the ownership of chickens, and see if they would agree to it. Or take it to the Mayor and have it be placed on the ballot like the pitbull one where residents wanted to legalize the ownership of pitbulls within the city.
That bill ended up failing by 20 ish votes but I’m hopeful that people will be less polar on chickens.
So if you’re interested let me know

Im for this! Lets do this! Please get in touch with me. [email protected] I am planning on going to city council this upcoming week.
