Backyard hens are permitted in Huntington residential zones under Chapter 198 zoning with coop setbacks. Roosters are prohibited in most residential districts due to noise nuisance provisions.
Huntington zoning permits small-scale poultry keeping in R-40, R-20, R-15, and larger residential lots, subject to coop setback of 25-50 feet from property lines depending on zone. Most residential lots allow up to 6 hens. Roosters, while not categorically banned, routinely trigger Chapter 141 noise violations and are effectively prohibited in R-7 and smaller zones. Coops must be kept clean to avoid Chapter 67 nuisance and rodent violations. Chicken slaughter on-site is prohibited in residential zones.
Setback violations: $250-$500 plus order to remove. Rooster noise: $250-$1,000 per offense under Ch. 141.
