Setback for a poultry / animal house from the boundary

United States

Keep poultry/animal housing about 4 m from the boundary (varies by local rules).

Distances and rules

A building for poultry or small animals is kept further from the boundary than an ordinary shed, for sanitary reasons — odour, runoff and noise should not disturb the neighbour. The exact setback depends on the country.
