Google is your friend. In the zoning document for Rochester, NH I found only one reference to poultry, nothing saying you could or couldn't raise them. Download it yourself and read through it.

I know I'm in the lowest tier zoning wise (rural residential). There's no agriculture zoning. The only thing that would make me think otherwise is that a farm has to have 10 acres. But I'm not farming.... Neighbor to the right is ok with it....

Farm. Any parcel of land containing at least ten (10) acres which is used in
raising of agricultural products, livestock, poultry, and dairy products, including
necessary farm structures and storage of equipment used, excluding raising of
fur-bearing animals.​

Yep, that's the only paragraph I found the term Poultry, I think it's meant to define the term 'farm', because there are tax issues regarding farms. I don't think you've got any problems up there regarding raising poultry. My hubby was raised in Rochester, NH, we've still got his home up in Lebanon, Maine. I love it up there!

Ah, so the birds will be warm, and so will you guys, next to a nice woodstove!

Are you going to be able to get the birds ever, or are they going to a new, permanent home?
