Local considerations
- Feed and supplies: check a local Tractor Supply, Atwoods Ranch & Home, or independent feed store before ordering online.
- Logan County residents can reach the OSU Extension county office for flock health and predator questions — see the OSU Extension county office directory.
- City ordinances don't override HOA covenants — check yours separately even where the city allows chickens.
