SandraD...tell your council that people in New York City can keep chickens. I believe that information will provide weight to your argument and tip the scales in your favor.
New York City, NY. Chickens are considered pets under the Health Code. Unlimited number of hens allowed; no roosters or other types of poultry. Code mentions cleanliness of chicken area must be kept clean.
That quote was taken directly from this website. My parents live in Mount Juliet where it's perfectly fine to keep ponies, horses, mules, cows, but not chickens and pigs on their particular road. I told her that if she really wanted to keep chickens, then challenge the rule as the man that stipulated it when he divided up the land has been dead a long time. My mother can be very persuasive--she could have made one heckuva lawyer--it's her health issues that keep her from doing the actual chicken-keeping work.
