Englewood limits residents to six hens per tract, prohibits roosters, and requires an annual license through the Board of Health.
Chapter 464, Article II of Englewood's Board of Health Code prohibits raising fowl within the City unless authorized. Up to six hens are allowed per tract of land, excluding multifamily dwelling lots, and an annual license must be obtained. Roosters are not permitted, and no chicken may run at large. Slaughter is restricted to inside a garage or building on site. Feed must be kept in covered metal or plastic containers and dispensed only from a feeding trough.
Keeping roosters, exceeding the six-hen limit, allowing chickens to roam, or failing to obtain the required annual hen license each constitute a violation enforced by the Board of Health.
