Backyard chickens will not be welcome in parts of Streetsboro after city council voted 3-3 against updating an ordinance that would have legalized up to six hens in various urban and rural zones.

Voting against the measure were council members Jen Wagner, Mike Lampa and Tony Lombardo. Without a majority, the measure did not pass.
