Did you already find this page?
https://palmyratown.org/ordinances.php
It's got a link to the zoning ordinance, which is a .pdf
In the zoning ordinance, at the bottom, it has a list of ammendments and dates, with the most recent being in 2022. So I'm guessing it is the current version.

Okay, but where do I find poultry? I can't find anything about it.

Everything I kept finding was for Wisconsin for some reason despite looking for Maine.

I'm pretty sure that one is in Maine, because I clicked a few of the headings at the top and got a page talking about how nice this little town in Maine is.

Okay, but where do I find poultry? I can't find anything about it.

I skim-read the whole thing, and searched for a few specific terms, but I did not find any mention of poultry or livestock.

What I did find:
--a list of four zonings
--Agricultural/Residential District list of allowed uses includes "farming"
--Commercial District allows "All uses allowed in the Agricultural/Residential District, and in addition...."
--Industrial District allows "All uses permitted in the Commercial District"
--Resource Protection District says to see the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance, which is available by another link from that same list

The Shoreland Zoning Ordinance lists several zonings within it.
It has a definition of "agriculture" that includes poultry.
The table of permitted uses says that agriculture is allowed in some of them, and allowed with a permit in the others.

So if you're looking for information about a particular property in that area, you would need to check which zoning it is in, then check the details for that particular one.

The main zoning ordinance keeps talking about things that need a "CEO," which I found defined in the Shoreline Zoning Ordinance: "permit issued by the Code Enforcement Officer."

We're looking at a place in the Zone 11. Trying to see if they got a limit on poultry, or other livestock which is important to know since I breed chickens, & am planning on expanding into goats.

I'm not seeing any "Zone 11" in either of those documents, so I don't know what to say

It's in the zoning map, but can't find anything stating a limit, or not.

We'll be checking out the house on 17 acres in Palmyra. Got information about animals, & there's no restrictions on animals.

Gave my Broody Taiwan some eggs to hatch . She's been broody for a whole month. Hoping her hatching a few chicks, & raises them to weaning age will break her.

Hate to break it to you but this is not breaking a broody! Breaking a broody means interupting her to such a degree she will stop being broody. Getting her to hatch chicks is the complete opposite of this. You are giving her exactly what she wants

But she should stop after weaning is the goal.
I can't break with a broody jail currently. Gotta think outside the box right now.
