I was misinformed about our zoning restrictions for chickens I was told if you have half an acre you could have chickens. Well I just found out it’s actually .75 acres so they are not allowed.. these chickens have become incredibly close to our family so much so that one would call them emotional support animals especially for me in particular can these chickens be registered as emotional support animals if the zoning doesn’t allow for chickens? And will it hold up in court?

Sorry about that. There was a discussion similar to this earlier in the day. I will link the thread, you may or may not find some useful information.

I feel there are several steps you need to take first. You need to have a condition diagnosed by a professional, and that professional then needs to believe that your chicken benefits the treatment of this condition.
You need to consider which chicken it will be, because this will probably only cover 1, so if someone complains you may need to get rid of the rest, but then, is living alone healthy for the one left?
is this an imminent problem? Has someone complained? Can you speak with them and just explain how attached you are, and how they benefit you?

its not going to hold up in court, but if nobodys complaining just keep it quiet and dont let them roam by the road and stuff in full view ..

You weren't completely misinformed. It looks like under .75 acres can be done, you just have to get a waiver. This appears to be the form you need.
