OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

I live outside of Hillsboro Ohio. We started layers in December in the garage so that they were laying by spring. My layers and broilers are from Mt Healthy Hatchery and so far I am happy with them http://www.mthealthy.com.

Have you or anyone else heard that Cincinnati/Hamilton County has a limit for urban farmers to only be allowed to have 10 live chickens at any time?

I haven't heard that, but I am over an hour away from Cinci.

We need help. We need a processor for ducks in the northwest Ohio between Lima and Marysville. We can go north or south as well.

Some friends dropped off 15 ducklings at the end of May, asking us to grow them for butchering in August. We have a processor for our chickens and turkeys, but found out they do not do ducks.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Please PM me with any information that you have.

There are two FDA inspected poultry processors in Ohio. One is Pleasant Valley Poultry in Baltic, OH 330-897-0626. It's probably further than you want to go, but if you call they might be able to point you to a local Amish processor (It's an Amish owned business). The FDA inspected only matters if you are selling, or crossing state lines. The other inspected place is somewhere in the Dayton area. Good Luck!
