Question

I'm trying 2 find out if its legal 2 raze chicks in Cincinnati Ohio

Answer 1

No... it's not legal to raze chickens in Cincinnanti. With the proper permit however, it is legal to RAISE chickens in Cincinnanti.

Answer 2

I live in Monroe area, Not to  fr from your area. I know that it can be but if you take care of them properly they should be fine to have. I recommend if you live in a non country area wih other chickens to get only hens. Roosters crow and you may get compaints. Also ask your neighbor if its ok if getting a couple hens.

Answer 3

All cities have zoning constraints that limit the raising of livestock, so it is most likely not legal technically without a permit, though it may be tolerated as long as it is not a bother to neighbors.

You can look up your Municiple Codes online to see what the law actually is, or ask your local Animal Control department.

If you properly contain a couple of hens, in a sanitary and humane manner, then they should be tolerated as they would not be noisy or running free. Roosters are the biggest no-no!

Chickens in the street or other peoples spaces will get you busted. Or if you are "lucky", one day your loose chickens will just disappear, either by stray cats and dogs, or into your neighbor's stew pot.

Realize that hens need at least one other hen for a companion. Human and other animal company isn't enough. Most people will keep 3 in case one succumbs unexpectedly. If you have not already chosen a breed, consider the Banties (Miniatures) and the Silkies (a particular small breed) as they are especially suited to limited space or cage culture. Remember they are ground birds and need space and occasion to run around in the sunlight to maintain their health. You can train them to harness and leash for a novel exercise walk if you have your legal bases covered.

All pets deserve an educated and compassionate guardian, so learn about their care before you commit.

Safest bet is to look up "Cincinnati Municiple Code"... "animals"... perhaps livestock or chickens.
