Euless generally prohibits chickens, roosters, and livestock in residential zones under Code Chapter 10. Roosters are prohibited citywide in residential zones. Some 1+ acre lots may qualify with setbacks.
The Euless Code of Ordinances Chapter 10 (Animals) restricts the keeping of chickens, ducks, geese, goats, sheep, horses, cattle, and other livestock in residential zones. Most standard single-family lots in Euless (typically 6,000 to 12,000 sq ft) are too small to qualify for poultry keeping. Larger properties meeting acreage thresholds, often 1 acre or greater, may keep a limited number of hens with setback requirements from dwellings and property lines. Roosters are prohibited citywide in residential zones due to noise. Livestock such as horses and cattle require agricultural zoning. Residents considering poultry should contact the Euless Animal Services at (817) 685-1594 or Building Inspections at (817) 685-1400 to verify current rules.
