Backyard Chickens in Claremore, Oklahoma
Claremore allows backyard chickens, though our research didn't turn up a firm published cap on hens — call the city to confirm before you commit to a flock size. An older source (2012) cites 12 adults/18 chicks with no permit, but a more recent source (2025) describes a 100 ft agricultural-zone setback without giving a residential-zone hen cap — call the city to confirm the current number before relying on the older figure.
Roosters are not allowed within city limits — this is standard across most Oklahoma cities because of noise complaints.
No permit is required to keep hens.

Local considerations
- Feed and supplies: check a local Tractor Supply, Atwoods Ranch & Home, or independent feed store before ordering online.
- Rogers County residents can reach the OSU Extension county office for flock health and predator questions — see the OSU Extension county office directory.
- City ordinances don't override HOA covenants — check yours separately even where the city allows chickens.
