Coop Ready Texas Hurst
Hens allowed
Allowed, but the coop must be 50 ft from every neighbor's house, which rules out many small lots.
Hens must live in a pen, coop or hutch; a fenced yard does not count. No hens on duplex, mobile home or multi-family property, and all fowl other than hens are banned. Texas Agriculture Code 251.0055 (HB 1750, 2023) may limit city rules on agricultural operations; it is untested for backyard hens, and Dallas Animal Services applies it to roosters.
