Not usually. Roosters are noisy and cannot be trained to us a litter box.

Most apartment building managers/owners would have a problem with a tenant keeping a rooster.

Even caged they will crow loudly at all hours.

If you just gotta have one ,best to find a backyard for it.

I'd say no - she'll need natural light, won't be able to behave naturally and her droppings will attract flies. All in all - NO!

No not at all, in fact free range chickens will wipe out your garden faster than the occasional grazing deer. Deer are pretty selective in a garden and not at all nervous around chickens but a chicken flock will scratch and hunt everything green then root around in the destruction for bugs.

How long can chickens stay in garage?

If the garage has no light (windows) then i wouldn't keep them in there that long. Maybe a few days as chickens need sunlight to lay eggs, and if you have a car in the garage then i wouldn't keep them in there at all. Chickens would prefer fresh air and some daylight so its not an ideal place to keep them, they also like wandering around the garden finding worms and insects. The garage cant give them this.


May you keep a cockerel in your back garden?

For residential areas, a person wishing to keep chickens in a back garden, must check with the local community laws. 1. Some areas do not allow residents within the town or community limits to keep any livestock, including chickens. 2. Others will allow chickens for egg production on the condition that no roosters are allowed, since roosters are the noisy members of the chicken flock. 3. Finally there is the chance that the area has no laws governing small livestock in backyards, and the chicken owner will have to rely on the wishes of his near neighbors as to whether or not he can keep roosters in his flock.
