Dont know what the law in Berlin is but if its the same as here you need a livestock license and if you are to close to your neighbours you wont be allowed.
yes, you can build the coop-but you have to see if the town has a code forbidding livestock-many do. or just do it and eat them if the cops say they gotta go-you wont get in trouble unless you fight with the cops-they hate that.
Depends on zoning. You can build the chicken coop, but the real question is this…. Can you put chickens in it? Generally, in residential areas, the answer is no. However, if your “residential” area is in the country (like where I live) then you can. Properties tend to have an animal designation. For example, you may only be allowed to have a maximum of four dogs totaling under 200 pounds. In my neighborhood, the people in the center of town (regardless of their land size) can’t have any farm animals…. The farther out you get, the bigger animals you can have. My neighbor has a retarded rooster. It’s loud, crows all night, runs around in circles, chases cars and stinks to high heaven.
Chickens are stinky animals. They are a lot more of a nuisance than people think.
check the towns law on chickens and livestock
