No idea if this is the correct place to post this or not so if I'm wrong, please forgive me!

I've spent countless hours trying to find laws that cover chicken keeping in Duval County of Jacksonville Florida and I have not found anything that answered my questions. On BYC I found that we are allowed to keep chickens in certain zones but I have no idea how to check which zone my house is located in. Could I get some help from you wonderful people?

Edit: to be more specific, I live close to Lake Mandarin in Jacksonville Florida.

On a side note, I used to keep both male and female quail and have never had any complaints from my neighbors but im a bit worried ill have complaints from neighbors if I get chickens. Do any of y'all know if chickens (hens) are louder than male coturnix quail?

Can't find a map of Jacksonville zoning. Here is where they say it's on public display:

"Copies of the Zoning Atlas shall be kept on public display in the offices of the Property Safety and Zoning Inspection Division and the Planning and Development Department."

Little road trip today and find your zone, match that to what is allowed in ordinance.
