Most people consider their horse to be a pet. As in, they do not use it as a draft/working animal (such as Amish farmers do).
Even mini horses, which are often indoor animals & even service animals, are classed as livestock.
In section 109, says it is unlawful to keep animals that are housed in stables, sheds, or pens, etc. I would count a chicken coop in that.
No matter how many backyard chickens there are... most are not going to be called pets.
If a legitimate service horse, which is house-broken and lives indoors, isn’t considered a pet, then you’re gonna have a hard time convincing anyone that your chickens are common pets.
Maybe you are looking in the wrong sections— you need to read the sections pertaining to agriculture. I saw at least 2 references to an “agricultural permit” or “agricultural zoning“.
Find out what your zoning is... and whether your property can be permitted for agriculture. Who knows, it’s possible it already is.
And like I said, frequently cities won’t bother spelling some things out specifically, if it’s already covered in the county regs... So you must check out what that says, too.
