Not sure when this was updated, but the city ordinances now say that fowl is not allowed with these exceptions... and hens are allowed with a max of 15.

(B) It shall be unlawful for any person to keep, house or maintain more than three canine or feline animals on any premises, lot, plot or parcel of land within the city, except in a duly licensed pet shop or licensed veterinary hospital. Any more than three of such canine or feline animals, or combination of canine and feline animals, shall constitute a kennel, and kennels are not permitted in the city, except in the M-1 Zone subject to approval of a conditional use permit.
