Hey.... Lets keep Chickens..!

ANY_CHANCE

Hi
i just checked the land reg papers all i can find is that 'nor shall any act or thing be done or permitted to be done nor any animals articles or things to be brought or permitted to be brought or kept or placed upon the propertyor any parts thereof which might be or become a nuisance or annoyance to the adjoining property or to the neighbourhood'

so im not sure if that means no chickens???!!

I would think or hope that it would mean that a few quiet chickens would be ok?

Any Chance, I'd speak to the neighbours and as long as they all agree that a couple of chickens won't be a nuisance to them then, technically, you aren't bringing anything onto the property that could cause a nuisance, as they have already declared that they wouldn't, if you see what I mean. The wording in the deeds could cover anything - barking dog, cat that digs neighbour's garden, parrot screeching, security light that reflects in someone else's window etc... My guess is that if the neighbours have nothing to complain about then you'd be ok. LOL Just don't get duped into having a cockerel.

I haven't checked my title deeds (not sure where they are) but have asked neighbours and they seem fine with it... so hopefully that should be OK?

Henhouse has been delivered and I built it yesterday .... just got to wait til we get back from holiday to get the chickens!

2 eggs today - one from the blue which is slightly bigger and white speckly and 1 from the brown which is smaller and brown speckly! I am so pleased - i ate my first one yesterday and 2 today!!!!!! HOOOOOORAY - the blue one really clucks after and during laying though

Edmund, you'll need to get a piccie of the new hen house so we can see it. I have just ordered one so I can split the Pekins up into what's staying and what's going. Hope it gets here this week

Natalie, now you know why I laugh when anyone hens don't ever make any noise. I have at least 4 that are very loud around laying time and next door across the field has one as well. They always set off the cockerels, too. :rotfl:It's like egg alert sirens.

Our big bossy red hen was like that this morning! As if we haven't got enough noise going on already! :rolleyes::rotfl:

At the risk of sounding dim, how do I go about checking what is on my title deeds, as i thought you only received them once the mortgage is paid off in full (a very distant dream, I'm afraid!)?

I was just thinking that it would be perhaps a good idea to check there are no restrictions against keeping chickens ...
