Can any of you fine people help.I am the allotment officer for Halton Borough Council in Cheshire and one of our tenants have asked me are there any regulations regarding the keeping of chickens on an allotment plot. e.g. The transportation of livestock , where they are purchased, inoculations and do they need to be registered.What regulations do you have to apply with. Do vets have to come out periodically to inoculate against salmonella etc , how much does it cost. what are the hazards ,pitfalls and problems.
I'm sure there is something regarding regulations with regard to salmonella. A friend of mine had to get rid of his stock (about 100 birds) due to the cost of implimenting the rules. This was in the Edwina Curry flurry days!
As a city dweller I would happily have a cockerel (or a wood-pigeon) wake me rather than the rumble of large lorries.
