We were limited to 4 hens. Things went incredibly well- we completely ignored the permit or getting anyone involved because our closest neighbors were 100% supportive and easily took fresh eggs as hush money :)Sadly, in September of 2011, something got into our coop and got our hens. We grew very close to these girls- there is something special about caring for a creature that provides food to you. With that being said, we were heart broken and closed down our backyard coop. BUT! It was such a great experience, that we are putting our home on the market this summer and moving to the country! We are hopeful that by adopting a big dog to protect a farm will help us be a little more protected from any predators.Good luck with your chicken plans Dennis, I guarantee you two things if you do this- the best eggs you've ever had and 100% comical entertainment! ;)-Heather Hi there Dennis!

We wormed our chickens after dark when they were roosting. Had no problems catching them or worming them. They are quite docile after dark.

Are you limited to four hens? How was the City licensing experience? I live in German Village and am dying to get some chickens. If I can't I'll just move to the country! Thanks, Dennis Heather,

I not against the work as am used to farm work. But I am currious at what this is going to cost me especially the vet bill. I recomend backyard chickens to everyone. with all the permiting and restrictions I wonder if it would be worth it. I not against the work as am used to farm work.

I have a huge yard and mostly nice neighbors, but my next door neighbor is pretty Dublin-ish (you know what I mean) so I will have to dot every I and cross every T. Thanks for this info! Please email, I would love to talk chickens with you. I live in Clintonville and have been considering chickens.
