Leawood is considering becoming the latest Johnson County city to allow residents to keep chickens within city limits. This week, the city council voted unanimously to direct city staff to research how other area cities approach allowing chickens. They city will also seek citizen input through the city’s website and social media and then draft an amendment to the city code, which currently prohibits keeping chickens. After all that, the council would then consider the measure in a work session and send it to the planning commission, after which it would return to the council for final consideration.
