Ok, so I wrote to my brother who is a real estate lawyer in Texas, and he says:
I usually think of domesticated animals as dogs and cats.
I would check the internet and the dictionary for what that term means in common language. That is how a court will interpret it.
You might also have deed restrictions in neighborhoods with similar language.
My town, Middletown, does not mention poultry at all in the regulations, which means there are no laws against them - how can I break a law that doesn't exist? I did call and ask, but my neighbors are pretty ok with it. I thank them by not getting a LF rooster.
