Is it illegal to build chicken coops in rural areas?

Don't belong. It is normal behavior of farmers to build farms on agricultural land. Agricultural land refers to the land used for agricultural production, including cultivated land, garden land, woodland, grassland, livestock and poultry breeding land, facility agricultural land, rural roads, pits and ponds and other agricultural land. The establishment of township enterprises and villagers' construction of houses shall be approved in accordance with the law to use the land collectively owned by farmers of the collective economic organizations, or the construction of public facilities and public welfare undertakings in townships (towns) and villages shall be approved in accordance with the law to use the land collectively owned by farmers. According to law, the right holder of land contractual management has the right to possess, use and benefit the cultivated land, forest land and grassland contracted by him, and has the right to engage in agricultural production such as planting, forestry and animal husbandry. Therefore, it is a legal act for farm owners to engage in agricultural production and operation activities by obtaining legal contract management warrants and building agricultural facilities on the land for breeding, and they have the right to engage in animal husbandry, an agricultural production and operation activity according to law.

To sum up, it is a welfare or policy measure for the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Land and Resources to encourage agricultural development for farmers to build farms on agricultural land for planting. It is a policy support to encourage villagers to develop economic industries on the premise that agriculture is the basic industry, so it is not advisable for planning and construction departments to treat farms as illegal demolition. Nowadays, all rural farms need to go through the breeding procedures. Those farms that have not gone through the previous procedures can now be reissued, but the farms in the restricted and prohibited areas must be demolished or closed. For aquaculture areas, treatment facilities with pollution sources must be seen, otherwise they will be closed. If the pollution is not particularly serious, no one will take care of it. At most, people from environmental protection departments or government departments should remind them. Because the development we need in rural areas depends not only on the development of agriculture, but also on the simultaneous development of various farming and aquaculture, so that we can afford this kind of economic development.
