A request that first surfaced last fall has come home to roost. The Osawatomie City Council adopted an ordinance at its Thursday, Feb. 12, meeting that allows hens to be kept on residential property inside the city limits, subject to certain limitations. The issue came up at the city’s Nov. 12 meeting when a resident asked the council to consider lifting a ban on chickens. “A Northland resident came to a meeting and asked us to look into chickens,” Mayor Mark Govea said. “City Council directed staff to look at it and come back with a ordinance.”
