Los Angeles California Chicken Ordinance

After a couple weeks of searching and posting on forums and emailing of people living close to be who were on these forums to no avail, I finally decided to just head over to LA Animal Control (for the city of LA not county). The above quoted ordinance is repeated frequently on the internet for Los Angeles, but I was always confused by the first sentence: "...not including fowl..." By dictionary definition, "fowl" are birds kept for eggs or flesh. Thus the ordinance quoted specifically does NOT apply to chickens.
Here is what the East Valley Animal Shelter had to say:
1) permit is not required
2) there are distance requirements: 35 ft from your own dwelling and 75 ft from the neighbors. (I've seen posted on forums that the distances were 20 and 35 ft, perhaps this is LA County's rule.)
They didn't mention anything about number or roosters. I had already left when it came to me. But, there were actually roosters at the shelter available for adoption. Adoption fee of chickens is $17 btw. They also had a RI Red hen with two eggs! She was in an open kennel type enclosure with a Bantam rooster and had laid two eggs in a shallow hole in the dirt.
Hope this helps other newbies in Los Angeles thinking of keeping chickens. Now that the legalities are out of the way, I can start building my coop.

I just searched for my zone and it says R1-1-RFA . Am I allowed to have chickens?? I don't know if R1-1-RFA is included in R1?? can somebody help me solve my doubt? Thank you!
I live in the San Fernando Valley in Studio City.

My city has ridiculous restrictions. You would think I was playing with a radioactive animal here. I am friends with a police officer who lives and works in my city. She has a LOT of chickens. That makes me feel a LOT better about breaking 57 laws just having one.

I put everything in openai to understand it more this what i got:::
This text outlines the regulations regarding the keeping and sale of animals in the City of Los Angeles.

According to the text, the noncommercial keeping of birds (excluding fowl) is allowed as an accessory use in certain residential zones, but if it is determined to be a nuisance or health hazard, it will not be permitted. The occasional sale of birds as a hobby does not constitute commercial use.

The keeping of certain domestic livestock, such as equines, bovines, goats, and up to five swine, and poultry, fowl, rabbits, fish, frogs, chinchillas, and other small animals is allowed as an accessory use in residential lots, as long as it is not for commercial purposes. Up to two currently licensed equines not owned by the resident may be boarded or kept for monetary compensation, and chickens, rabbits, or chinchillas may be kept for commercial purposes on lots of five acres or more.

The keeping of equines and bovines is only permitted on lots with an area of 17,500 square feet or more, and the number kept cannot exceed one equine or bovine for each 4,000 square feet of lot area.

The text also prohibits the sale, display, or giveaway of certain animals as novelties on streets and sidewalks, such as rabbits, baby chicks, ducklings, and other fowl. No animals may be dyed, colored, or otherwise artificially treated, and proper brooder facilities must be provided for the care of baby chicks, ducklings, or other fowl. No animals under four weeks of age may be sold in quantities less than six.

However, the text does allow for the sale of animals, birds, fish, and reptiles legally for sale in licensed pet shops, kennels, aviaries, or fish hatcheries.
