Whether you’re planning your first coop or expanding your flock, understanding local chicken zoning laws is one of the most important steps. Every city—and sometimes every neighborhood—sets its own rules for hens, roosters, permits, and lot sizes. That’s why we created this simple, user-friendly lookup tool to help you quickly find example regulations for your area.
Use it as a starting point before chatting with your city or county. With one quick search, you’ll get easy-to-read guidance, important notes, and next steps so you can feel confident (and compliant!) as you build your flock. Happy hen-keeping—let’s make sure your birds are welcome where they live. 🐓✨
