Backyard chickens

[hmp35]

Ok I live in Charlestown Maryland and have 5 chickens and I am confused do I need to have an acre of land to have chickens for eggs? There are no ordiances here in the town on chickens and I know several people here who have chickens one has a dozen I only have 5. So could someone explain just want to make sure I am reading the ordiances right. Thanks!

You may want to check with Cecil County ordinances. I live in Baltimore County where you need an acre or to be zoned agricultural.
