Has anyone "won" and gotten their HOA to change a rule about chickens?

Thnaks for your reply -- yes I've looked into the different points you bring up... sadly the city simply removed all wording regarding restrictions rather than state the allowability - thus the HOA wins there. I can personally ask the HOA to hold a meeting (and since everyone is violating the rule about draperies, see my first post) they have to hold one based on that alone. The by-laws state the percentage (30) that have to then agree to a meeting and (75) that have to agree to each proposed change... it also provides for proxy voting.

HOAs are like little totalitarian regimes and middle school cliques rolled into one and I shall NEVER knowingly buy a home that is under the rule of one ever again.
