The water drains away from the well, and the chicken coop would be in the lower area. Good things to consider. Thanks.

Yes! The rules, on more than 1 acre. We are allowed 5 hens, no roosters.

👍We have a "shallow well". The septic is on the other side of the house. https://www.angi.com/articles/deep-well-vs-shallow-well.htm

Great. I'll do that, thanks.

Update: We re-measured, and realized that the existing 8' X 10' shed on a concrete foundation is 50' (feet) from the well. 🥳 We are going to rebuild the roof (...Which should be replaced anyway. The structure itself is in good shape), and make one side wall higher, (or the other side lower) so...

Weird right? Might that be due to cold winters?

The file.

I found it. 50 feet. Plus I am not allowed to have kangaroos, elephants, or pigeons. 😂 Thanks for helping me search.

Sorry. Thanks Jimmy.

I found the township PDF with your suggestion. The difference between suggested and minimum.. I feel better about it now. Thanks. 😊

You're right! I looked it up again, and the minimum is 15 Meters. 50' feet. 100' was a suggestion. Thanks for your help.

I'm new to this house and property. I plan to get a well guy over to look at the well-system, and put a proper well cap on it soon. I bought a fancy new heavy duty measuring tape today, to see how close my two preferred areas are to the well. I agree about suggestions made by bureaucrats...

12" equals 1 foot. Did I say it wrong? I'm Canadian. Forgive me. 😂

I think so, but is 100' really necessary? I'd love to find out that 50' would be okay. 😊

Hi everyone, I have a shallow well, and my township recommends that I place the coop (that I'm going to build) 100' away. What are your thoughts? What distance is safe? Would 75' be okay? Even less? I plan on no more than 5-6 chickens. Coop and run will be 6' X 10-12'. How close is your well?
