Well, if you're living in Calgary, which is where I grew up, you're most likely out of luck.
You will have far better luck putting a massive cell phone or TV tower in your yard. Unlike gardens, cell towers are not restricted by law. As long as you have a contract with whoever's going to build the tower, there's actually no legal way for anybody around you to protest or object, or to stop the construction. In theory City Council can help you; in practice they're not going to. Unlike in other industrialized countries, there are no minimum distances between your tower and other people's homes or bedrooms. One church in southwest Calgary is currently adding a third cell tower in its one to two acre lot. They're putting in a massive TV tower out in their parking lot, because the two smaller towers in their steeple weren't raking in enough income. The original contract was for a much smaller tower, and in fact their building license was for a smaller tower too, but they pulled a switcheroo in order to get more money. Despite protests from a majority of home owners (the church is located in a residential suburb, one most of the congregants don't actually live in), the construction is going ahead.
You, however, will be fined for having a single laying hen.
