Spring Hill, which straddles the Johnson/Miami line at U.S. 169, has joined the growing list of cities that are considering allowing chickens within city limits. In May 2020, a group of teens petitioned the city to allow chickens within city boundaries. Spring Hill officials, including the police, researched the subject, and now the city is seeking public feedback. Residents can submit comments through April 16, and the City Council will discuss the matter again on April 22. … The proposal would allow up to six chickens on a property if a special permit is granted, and it sets rules for enclosures and maintaining healthy conditions. Last August, Prairie Village began allowing backyard chickens.
