Lombard to allow backyard hens
Lombard has adopted a new ordinance allowing residents to own backyard hens.
The village board unanimously voted to enact the regulations at its March 3 meeting.
Up to 50 licenses will be available for single-family homeowners to keep between two to six hens (no roosters) in a backyard coop. There is a $50 registration fee and license holders must renew, for free, on an annual basis.
