Help! How can I keep my chickens?!

Yes, as was indicated in the earlier thread, zoning doesn't seem to matter--if you want to consider your animals or garden a farm, you can state that they are, all that is required is an intent to sell and practicing common sense agricultural practices.

Many zoning ordinances list only the approved accessory and principle uses--if it's not listed, it is not allowed. This would be mentioned early in the zoning code. However, pets are not listed as an accessory use, so unless there is a different ordinance that addresses pets or animals, no pets are allowed by the interpretation she gave you. If there is a different ordinance relating to pets or animals, that would govern you, not the one relating to farming.

As for not making waves and putting yourself in their trigger sight--consider the repercussion of not making waves to the point that you have no rights. Be nice, be considerate, but don't let other people dictate your choices.
 
This is looking like it could get to be a complex situation. I would spring for the consultation fee to talk to a local attorney with zoning experience in your area.
