How many neighbors did you have to get to sign off on the chickens? My next door neighbor hates me and would never sign, but all the other neighbors would be fine. Was it an all or nothing proposition?
I also live in Woodstock, IL My family has wanted to raise chickens for a while now. We actually bought them and their equipment in the spring of '18. We "chickened out" when it was time to move them outside. We found farm friends to move them to. They were eaten by predators a month later...
