Illegal, well sort of. I live outside the town (about 20,000 people) in the county where chickens are legal but I live in a 'subdivision' where most lots are 10-20 acres. The HOA rules say no chickens but I am on the board of directors and we decided if your neighbors didn't care we wouldn't do anything. I now have 6 chickens who give me 5 to 6 eggs a day. The next door neighbors (OK, they are about 20+ acres away) want chickens too.
