HenCheck

US city directory

What you can keep, and what to buy, in your city.

Lookup is by street address, not city name, so we can tell whether that point is inside corporate limits or unincorporated. If we have verified that city's hen rules, you get the municipal code (hen cap, roosters, permit, setback) plus a hatchery that ships there, a local feed store, a coop that fits the rule, and a poultry-capable vet.

This is not an ordinance dump. If a city is not listed, we have not verified it yet. We do not invent numbers. We do not look up HOA or neighborhood covenants.

Check your address

Enter a full street address. We geocode it, then test the point against Census incorporated-place boundaries. ZIP and the city name on the envelope are not enough: many mailing addresses sit outside city limits.

We geocode the street address and test that point against Census city limits. The city name you type is not the source of truth.

Address lookup is the main path. The list below is the cities we have actually checked, if you want to browse. Filter is client-side from the city files shipped with this site.
