I think our local council is really [smilie=a_doh.gif] We are only allowed 4 hens in the middle of nowhere :( unless you are zoned rural and can have 75 chookies

A Person must not, without a permit, keep on any land a rooster, goose, turkey, peafowl, cockatoo or galah or any other bird that is not a domestic bird on Premises in a Residential area.
Farm animals must not, without a permit, be kept on Premises in a Residential area. Farm animals include: horses, cattle, donkey, mule, cow, bull, steer, sheep, pig, goat, ox, ostrich, emu, alpaca and any other animal kept for harvest of fleece, hide or meat; irrespective of whether the animal is kept as a companion animal.
What if I want to keep more animals?

If you want to keep more than the allowable number of animals on your property you can apply for an Animal Permit.

Even my Nanna can have 10 hens in inner Melbourne, a friend has 6 in Camberwell and other 5 in Ringwood, 5 in Monash, even 6 in Kingston!!!

It is just ludicrous!

It is so unfair as we live outside a country township and before the bushfires we were semi rural and could keep 20 hens and a rooster!

[smilie=welcome.gif] Vessie, it is just so unfair and so ridiculous when inner suburban councils can keep more chookies than a country township and outer country area.

It must have changed since I lived in the Yarra Ranges council area. I thought it was 12 hens at the time and a rooster. However we did have to get rid of the rooster after the neighbour complained about the crowing at 4:30 in the morning. Guess I couldn't blame them :-?

We were rezoned after the bushfires from semi rural to urban now to residential and the poultry regulations yet again recently :roll:

I don't see why it matters if you have as many chickens as you want! The aren't noisy, and as far as I am concerned we should be able to have a rooster as well! I would much rather hear a rooster than a dog barking or a car revving its head off! Stupid councils! We are only supposed to have 5 chickens (country town) and no roosters, we have a 'few' more than 5 :P and we occasionally have a rooster that we are growing out to take to the auction or give away. Luckily we have good neighbours that don't mind but I still don't like the idea of risking it with a rooster.

Why does everything have to be quiet anyway? I prefer to hear the world around me and know that I am alive!

Why is it humans only want to hear other humans? Animals sound much nicer :)
