Does anyone know if you can have chickens in bloom township, Fairfield county. My friend owns 1.9 acres.

Is the property in a platted subdivision or in an area of fifteen or more contiguous lots that would be considered a subdivision under the law? See here for more info (especially the last paragraph):

Ohio townships, unlike cities and villages, can not prohibit agricultural uses (raising chickens falls under the definition of agriculture, according to state law) unless the property meets very specific criteria such as being in a subdivision.
