Berks county, Pa chicken laws

[Adusz]

Hey everyone!
I saw the other posts about different townships in Pa, my question pertains to the property we just got.
It is in Agribusiness zoning, I did try to call the township zoning officer and he said no matter how many chickens I had to have 5 acres which didn’t match anything I found online. the 5acres on Ecode said for grazing animals.
Does anyone know how agribusiness land works for having chickens for personal egg consumption?
We have 2.5acres for this property.
Any direction for info would really help!
I looked generalcode.com ecode360.com and local municipal websites and the animal control. Everyone gave me either “we don’t know” or conflicting answers.
Any help would be really appreciated!!
Ty!

You could try municode. I didn't see your county, but maybe one of the townships is yours.

*I could see how local authorities call chickens grazing animals. Good luck.
