I have to add..take him on Judge Judy if you're in America! I'd love to see that.
I find it awful if the laws there will let him change his mind about you keeping chickens and force you to get rid of them. I really hope that's not the case!I definitely agree with not withholding rent. If it comes to court then i will help you to appear as the perfect Tennant. If I were you I'd find another place then sue him after you'd moved out. DEFINITELY take photos of the property before you leave. From the sound of everything you'll be much happier elsewhere. I hope you're able to find somewhere just as nice with a decent landlord.
Btw..I can relate to what you're going through. It's pretty much what I've feared will happen at my place (though the owner stays on my property).
Best of luck.
