sheffield lake

Sheffield Lake is a small suburb of about 9,000 people living in about two and a half square miles, according to Mayor Dennis Bring. In such a densely populated, compact space, the town really needs to manage the chickens. “When you take that many people and put 50-foot lots – which are not very wide lots – and you start having animals, on 50-foot lots, anything that effects your neighbor becomes a problem, and that’s why we should have some rules in place,” he says.
