Coop Ready Texas Hutto
Hens allowed
The 50 ft minimum from neighbors' homes rules out most typical subdivision lots.
Fowl must be in enclosed pens. A pen 100 ft or more from others' buildings allows up to 10. The rule does not apply to property with a legal nonconforming agricultural tax exemption. Texas Ag 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.
