Regulations for Chicken Coops in Baltimore MD

You must follow specific regulations for chicken coops in Baltimore, MD. The city of Baltimore outlines special regulations for backyard chickens and hens that you must follow.


Coop Placement and Regulations

Chicken coops must be located in the rear yard or, if a corner lot, the non-street facing part of the property. They must be set back at least 10 feet from all lot lines and 30 feet from a neighboring property.

The coop must be built to withstand and protect chickens during harsh weather conditions. Coops must be at least eight inches above grade to prevent rodent access or be placed on concrete footers, aprons, or other dig-deterrent barriers.

There is no specific limit to the number of hens a resident can keep if they have at least 1 acre of land. However, for land with 10,000 to 40,000 square feet you can only keep 4-10 chickens depending on your property size.


Cleanliness and upkeep

Your coop should be designed to allow for ease of cleaning and adequate air flow to prevent odors from building up. The coop should have a minimum of three feet per hen.

Your coop, run, or free range area should be kept clean, dry, and free from debris and remain in coop repair at all times.

Chicken Coops for Sale in Baltimore MD: Commonly Asked Questions

What breed of chickens are best suited for backyard environments?

Some of the best egg-laying breeds to consider for your backyard flock are Rhode Island Reds, Leghorns, Sussex, Australorps, Plymouth Rocks, and more. For further details on the top egg-laying breeds, take a look at our blog post titled “The Best Egg-laying Chickens.

How do I protect my chickens from predators?

The best way to protect your chicken from predators is to ensure that your coop is sturdy enough. Constructing a coop with weak wire or flimsy wood can allow predators like raccoons, coyotes, foxes, weasels, and even domestic dogs to break into the coop.

If you’re aware of the presence of predators, it’s best to avoid using chicken wire and instead choose stronger materials for your coop. Ensure the coop’s doors have robust latches, and properly seal the windows to prevent predators from gaining entry.

What should I feed my chickens, and how much?

In addition to their standard layer feed, chickens can benefit from a variety of healthy greens, including lettuce, kale, and turnip tops. They may also relish the occasional snack of fruits like watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries, but moderation is key to keep their diet balanced.

On average, a laying hen consumes around a quarter pound of feed each day, totaling about one and a half pounds weekly. However, this amount may fluctuate based on the specific breed or size of your chickens.
