I live in Lorain OH and recently got 2 hens for laying eggs. I've had them for about 1 month. I upcycled a cabinet for a coop and built an attached enclosed run (with no footers) that is about 2.5x5.5' in size. I am at a rental property and have a pet, so I put down the pet deposit for my cat when I moved in a while ago. The lease does not say anything about permitted # of pets or type of pets. The coop and run are technically not on the property- they are on the easement/alley right on the fence line. My county has very loose/in flux ordinances about chickens. Basically, they're fine as long as there is no rooster and not too close to a building (based on what people have said). 2 properties on my street have backyard chickens too. My property manager just messaged me saying "the owner stopped by and was disappointed to see chickens. Are they yours?" I responded with some of the above information and stated I did not think I was in violation of the lease. In effort to be forward thinking, does the owner have any say about the hens being considered pets, or anything else in violation of the lease, especially since they are just off the property line?
