Sorry for not replying, I just searched for articles and the ordinance regulations for almost every town in the county - happy to know that we are one of the towns to own chickens!

I’ve searched for the ordinances for my town but they are so vague

I just wanted to point out to the Original poster that the link for regulation posted was for Aberdeen, South Dakota and not of Aberdeen Township New Jersey. This might mislead people. I have been looking for the same and have not found any for Aberdeen NJ yet.
