Question about chicken coop laws for Grayslake, IL

[rosemarythyme]

It says "all coops" so that would include prefabs. Very likely that's to make sure that setbacks and height restrictions are being met, as well as the 6 sq ft per hen requirement. I have to admit I'm impressed they require a 6 sq ft per hen, as many areas don't seem to consider the animal's well being in terms of space. My zoning ordinance only requires 1 sq ft per chicken.

Here's the actual ordinance. Not sure why you didn't just look at the actual code yourself.

I did look it up but where I read it, it was quoted exactly as I posted. The one you posted is more clear and doesn't state separate enclosed coop. Thanks.
