COLUMBUS CHICKENS!
The chicken ordinance was passed!
Four hens, must be cooped, and everyone within 200 feet of your property will be notified that you are getting them. Go get yourself some!

Urban Chickens
Why Am I Doing This?
I have found that I'm not alone in wanting to provide fresh, safe food for my family from my own backyard. This blog is my adventure in getting approval to raise a small flock of hens in my city yard for the benefit of fresh eggs while contributing to a green environment.

Keep Chickens
by Barbara Kilarski
The Proposal
We propose that a new bylaw is created within the zoning ordinances of the City of Columbus that allows for backyard urban chickens and specifies the following:
No person shall own more than four (4) hens; roosters are not permitted. No person shall place a coop, pen, housing, or enclosure closer than 25 feet to any neighboring residence. All coops, pens, housing, and enclosures shall be clean and free from insects and disagreeable odors, and hens will be restrained and enclosed at all times on the premises; hens will not be permitted to roam at large. Hens are permitted outside of their coops, pens, housing, and enclosure only when under direct supervision. Feed will be stored in airtight containers impenetrable to rodents and flies. Chickens are to be considered pets and are not to be raised for meat; butchering will not be permissible within city limits.
