Agnes is right.
In my neighborhood they said I could not own ANYTHING other than household pets (Dogs, cats, etc). But I walked around, and talked to ALL of my neighbors and made friends.
The laws may be there, but remember that it's your neighbors that enforce them. If your neighbors complain, then you have to worry about someone coming to get your critters.
I talked to my neighbors, all around me, 5 houses in each direction, and they were all OK with me not only getting chickens, roosters included, but also GOATS (I have 2 goats now as well), and I am goose-sitting my best friends geese too!).
My next door neighbors actually pull out lawn chairs and hand feed my birds in the summers! LOL They say they LOVE hearing the roosters crow in the mornings, and they enjoy them coming over there because they help to fertilize their lawn, keep the bugs down, and are fun as the dickens to watch and interact with!
The key is: MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS
To "Butter" them up, I walk over to the "next" door neighbors a few times a year with a dozen eggs. They LOVE it!
