Regulations for Chicken Coops in Burlington
In Burlington (not south), the number of chickens allowed is determined by enclosure space. Contact the city before trying to determine how many chickens you can have based on the size of your enclosure. Roosters are not permitted within the city limits.
Residents in South Burlington are permitted to keep chickens, but they must obtain an annual permit to do so. The maximum number of chickens allowed is six per lot, regardless of the number of dwelling units on the lot.
According to the regulations, each chicken must be allocated a minimum of three square feet of pen space and 1.5 feet of interior coop space. The pen itself should offer sufficient exposure to both sunlight and shade while also providing reasonable protection against rodents, wild birds, and various predators such as dogs and cats.
Pens designed for housing chickens must be constructed to be reasonably resistant to predators and birds, ensuring that predators are kept out while the chickens are safely contained within.
Sanitation and Maintenance
Taking good care of chicken coops is crucial to avoid health issues and bothersome problems like bad smells or pests. Make sure to keep the coops clean, dry, and well-ventilated.
Health and Safety Regulations
People who own backyard chickens need to follow health and safety rules, including those about selling eggs or meat.

Chicken Coops for Sale in Burlington VT: Commonly Asked Questions
What breed of chickens are best suited for backyard environments?
There are many chicken breeds to choose from if you’re considering expanding your flock. Some of the popular ones include Rhode Island Reds, Silkies, Sussex, Orpingtons, Brahmas, and many others. Check out our blog post on the Friendliest Chicken Breeds for more information on which breeds might suit you best.
How do I protect my chickens from predators?
Many chicken farmers often make mistakes when it comes to safeguarding their chickens from predators. One common mistake is constructing coops that lack sufficient durability, particularly in regions where predators are prevalent.
In areas like California, predators like raccoons, coyotes, foxes, weasels, and even domestic dogs can easily breach coops constructed with weak wire and flimsy wood. If you’re aware of predators in your vicinity, refrain from using chicken wire and choose stronger materials for your coop instead. Ensure your doors are equipped with sturdy latches, and effectively seal your windows to prevent predators from entering.
What should I feed my chickens, and how much?
In addition to their usual layer feed, chickens can benefit from some nutritious greens like lettuce, kale, and turnip greens. They may also enjoy occasional treats such as watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries, but be cautious not to give them too much. Typically, a laying hen consumes around a quarter pound of feed daily, totaling about a pound and a half per week. However, this amount can vary depending on the size or breed of your chickens.
