I noted on BYC's local chicken laws & ordinances page that as far as Kansas goes, it's "yes" to chooks in Overland Park. However, a Google search brought me to a real estate agent's blog post about where chooks are and aren't allowed in and around the KC area, and Overland Park got a "no." Her name's Sarah Snodgrass - I'd post the link to that blog post here, but I'm experiencing new-member limitations due to BYC's problems with spam.
If anyone could help clarify this, that would be great. We'll be moving to KC this summer, and are about to start house-hunting. I'm brand-new to the whole urban chickens concept, but have been reading extensively on the subject and am quite the "henthusiast" now - my significant other is still more or less on the sidelines, albeit amused at my eagerness to start our own little flock. Lawrence is unfortunately too far away from where our new jobs will be, otherwise it'd be ideal living space, what with CityChooks and all.
It does look like my newfound interest in poultry-keeping may well be dead on arrival, if KS laws have anything to say about the matter. But if anyone has useful information to share, I'd appreciate it all the same. We do plan on trying to avoid buying a place that involves HOA fees and all that jazz, because then it probably doesn't matter what the city stipulates, we'll likely end up in a losing battle with anti-chicken HOA folks anyway.
