Can I get around or no?

I'd try to get in contact with the HOA and get a definitive answer first. If you are unable to contact the HOA, then talk with your neighbours as they'll be the ones 'affected' by you owning chickens. If the HOA says no, then you could start a petition and get people around your neighborhood to sign, it often doesn't work, but could be worth a try.
Hopefully you'll be able to get some hens, they are wonderful little animals to have around.

I really really want to have chickens! Our town law says 4-5 hens and no rooster and that is what we plan to have. However, our HOA deed restriction says "No animals or livestock, other than ordinary household pets, and no animals of any description, which constitues a nuisance, inluding a noise nuisance, or a threat to or danger to persons or property shall be kept in any lot big or small." Seems a bit hazy to me... Thoughts?

I see nothing hazy about it at all. This agreement is written in such a manner that it allows the HOA to decide what constitutes a a nuisance and what doesn't constitute a nuisance. IMHO this is exactly in line with the kind of personally type who are attracted to becoming chairmen of HOAs.
