GRANDVIEW, Ohio -- The only chickens you’re going to see in Grandview will be on a plate and not in a back yard.
NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.
Sophomore Andy Smigelski’s efforts to get his local city council to OK a law that would allow people to keep hens in their yards as pets, egg-laying pets, were in vain.
Andy went to council members in April and asked them to repeal a ban on raising farm animals in the city.
Andy told NBC 4 home-laid eggs are fresher and more healthful than store-bought. He also said chickens would better than dogs as home companions.
City council dropped the issue at a Monday meeting.
As a result, residents cannot raise hens, bees, cows or other deemed farm animals in the city.
