Thought I'd post this here since I received the info today.
Chickens/Ducks would be allowed. As farm animals. On a property that is more than 3 acres and is a declared a "farm"
They are happy to send you the form and seem willing to help you wade through the mess to make your property a farm.
since it’s over 3 acres, you would be allowed, HOWEVER, you would need to get Planning Board site plan approval to be considered a “farm.” They are defined as farm animals and to have a farm, the parcels are required to be of 3 acres or more. So, since the parcel would be big enough, you’d have to get approved for it to be considered a farm (we don’t have any agricultural districts) and then they would be allowed. Site Plan Review starts at $250 with an engineering fee that ranges between $300-6,000 depending on the project. We’d have you come in and review the application with our Director, Sam Gordon, who would then decide how much that engineering fee would be.
