I am having difficulty with my HOA regarding my backyard pet chickens. Our covenants are very vague and my local ordinance allows chickens. Please read what I have and give me any insite, help, etc on this. Plans for my structure were approved - I did not have to state the purpose of my structure - it looks like a playhouse. The HOA says they may change the covenants to 'no' chickens, so trying to figure out if they have to grandfather me in or not. Here is what I have:
HOA Covenant reads:
Animals: No Animals, including birds, insects and reptiles, may be kept on any Lot unless kept thereon solely as household pets and not for commercial purposes. No animal shall be allowed to become a nuisance. No structure for the care, housing or confinement of any animal shall be constructed, placed or altered on any Lot unless plans, specifications and location for said Structure have been approved by the ACC (Architectural Control Committee).
Thanks for your help.
