Hi there!

Lombard does NOT allow chickens. I was part of the effort to legalize a little over a year ago. The Village Board voted almost unanimously against legalizing backyard chickens.

I'm not up on duck ordinances...but I'm guessing of you are in UNINCORPORATED DuPage county, you won't have any problems.

Oh i was only going off of the laws section on this website, if you were part of that movement could you please update that section of the website? it seems this is the only website that has a comprehensive list for this.

This is debatable. Chickens (and ducks) are not expressly prohibited by Dupage Co. Code, but not expressly allowed either. By strict letter of the law this probably means NO (per zoning regs, if something is not allowed then it is prohibited). But unincorporated is also something of a Don't Ask Don't Tell - if your neighbors are cool with it, you are <probably> fine.

There are exceptions: If you are 5+ acres you can be "ag" and basically do whatever you want. If you are 40+k sq ft (1 acre) you can use the "4-H defense".

Good luck!
