If you rent your house, check your lease or ask your landlord. If you own your house, is there anything in the deeds to say you may not have poultry? Have a word with adjoining neighbours (stress that surplus fresh eggs might be available) as it's always useful to have them 'on side' if you need a hen sitter when you're away.
