    I was offered an allotment in Scotland but discovered they don't allow chickens on it. I thought legally I could?

    Legislation.gov.uk says that the Allotment Act 1950 only applies to England and Wales.

    My tenancy agreement says i need permission for a DOMESTIC pet. A chicken is not a domestic pet as the council confirm. So I could get them and would not be in breach. Nothing in the contract to breach! The council could only take them away if they caused annoyance. Which is fine. So pretty confident I will be fine! Housing Officer not happy right enough but tough!

    Ah, so your lease does not state 'no chickens' but 'no domestic pets'... I always like when people ask questions without sticking to facts.
