Chicken Council Regulations

You are allowed to keep chickens in a residential area, but check your local council’s website for restrictions. Common requirements are:

• Coops at least one metre from boundaries and 10m from buildings and streets

• Control of vermin such as rats and mice

• Low odour and insects, best achieved by keeping litter clean and dry

• Dead birds disposed of appropriately

• Secure food storage

• No roosters and limited numbers of hens (typically 6)

Also bear in mind that coops above a certain size (typically 10-15m2) will need planning approval.
