Cockerel on allotment?
« on: January 02, 2011, 10:42 »
Am i allowed to keep a cockerel on my allotment plot. I alreay have chickens and there is nothing in our constitution saying we cant. Nearest house is maybe 4-500 yards away.
Thanks

check with your local council, I don't think many allow cockerels  :(

We got our Rocky because he was kept on an allotment and the nearby neighbours kept complaining.

So even if the constitution says its okay, often neighbours don't like it

Allotment holders are allowed to keep hens and rabbits on allotments.  It is a right given by act of parliament.

Cockerels, however, are another bag of feathers and are not allowed as a right.  Contact your council and what they say goes !
