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.

Enforced primarily on a complaint basis.

Ordinances change. This page is a starting point, not a substitute for calling Claremore city hall or checking your HOA covenant before you build a coop.

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.
