Yes, you are usually but only with the permission of the authorities. I don't think it's really much liked by some as they are rat magnets aren't they? I suppose in more rural areas it's more acceptable but in a city site it would be a bit antisocial wouldn't it? Or am I just obsessed with rodents...? I've shot one already today.......  |

When we took our plot on we were given some paperwork and it does say we can keep chickens on our plot, but I wouldn't. It would be too much for me to go there twice a day to care for them, and I think the locals would behead them anyway |

Same here - I wouldn't want to leave them alone for long periods of time, for their sakes and everyone else's! They'd make short work of all that grass though......

And wouldn't the chickenkeeper be popular if the chickens got out and helped themselves to everyone else's veg?  I love the idea of our chickens foraging over all our overgrown plot - they really would think they'd died and gone to Heaven - which is exactly where they would be if they ran riot over everyone's prize cabbages. |

I'd love to take the hens to my plot for a few days, they'd eat all the slugs. They've done great work clearing the boarders at home, stone free, weed free......plant free, but well turned over ;D
