SF fowl rule question   Message List

Hello,

Does the rule to locate the coop 20 feet away from an inhabited property include
your own? Does anyone know how strictly these rules are enforced assuming
neighbors are ok with the hens?

I suppose having the coop inside a dwelling gets around this rule. What are your
thoughts on an indoor coop-say under the house or in the garage? What drawbacks
do you see assuming the hens would be able to wander outside all day long.
