Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Have you contacted them directly? Maybe code enforcement could point you in the right direction.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

You might contact the townhall of Athens and ask, they should be able to provide you with the laws of the township. You can also ask this question in your state thread here ... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/ohio-come-on-buckeyes-let-me-know-your-out-there.12049/

Welcome aboard!

Google county ordinance, city ordinance, and municipal code. A quick check got me some info, so I’m sure it’s easy to find. When you search the sites, use “chicken” and “fowl” as search terms.

I haven't got a clue and I'm from Ohio. Athens is 246 miles from here although, I did build a few buildings there in 1978. They had the best food around there in town.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
