Hello and welcome from Arlington VA, where local ordinances prevent almost everyone from owning chickens due to lot size also. I'm involved with a group called The Arlington Egg Project that is working to have the county ordinances modified to allow a limited number of hens (no roosters). You might get some ideas from their website: http://www.arlingtoneggproject.com

Be sure to visit, and post your question on the Local Chicken Laws & Ordinances (and how to change them) forum:

Good luck!

Welcome to BYC. You might also want to contact your city councilman or county commisssioner and bug the heck out of them to get the ordinance/law changed via planning and zoning officials.
