Hate HOAs! Bought a beautiful acre of land once, when I read through the HOA rules at the signing of the property, we walked away We recently found one acre parcels with new homes on, they have HOA, we walked again. Have dealt with HOA once and never again. They are and can be a thorn in anyone's side.
Good luck but give it your best fight to keep your girls, maybe make them "house chickens"? Or if you have a patio, keep them in a cage in the patio & let them out in your yard (in a secure enclosure) when you're home. Maybe it's the 'visual' of the coop that they/HOA against, maybe a lawyer or some law student can help.
No HOA where I live now
