Hi, I am a chickenless (for now until I get our village govt. to grant me a variance) New Egg. I live in Burton Village, Ohio, east of Cleveland. Anyone out there close by me? For now I pet sit two large flocks of chickens and have been reading everything I can get my hands on and researching cute little urban coops and runs. I would love any advice on changing a rural local government's mindset since we have a large Amish population, the country's oldest county fair just up the street and a long countywide tradition of farming and 4H. This is a great forum, I'm learning a lot. I also have a lot of bad stories from petsitting chickens, so I learned a lot of what not to do.
