I talked to the city office manager today. The city ordinance #95-6-8 allows 30 chickens per acre. There is a setback of 15 feet from adjoining properties. Other than that there are no regulations other than noise nuisance which applies to everything anyway.
Sounds good to me!
There are different rules for other animals including ducks and turkeys. You are allowed 1 animal unit per acre. Different animals are different points. Turkeys and geese are just under 16 per acre.
For larger animals it is 1 unit for cows and horses. The babies dont count as a unit till they are no longer using nursing as their food. Once their food is supplimented they are counted as a unit.
Any way all the normal farm animals are assigned a point fraction of 1 to determine how many you can have.
