Regulations for keeping chickens in Bristol rhode Island.

Hi, Can someone please help me locate the restrictions on having chickens in Bristol Rhode Island. I have gone on site and still cannot figure out the answer. Appreciate any help....

What I can find states they must be registered, but nowhere states they are prohibited and/or limited - https://www.municode.com/library/ri/bristol/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIVCO_CH6AN -- sections 6-2 to 6-4 -- the department they are to be registered with is the Animal Control so I would contact them for further clarification as to what, if any, regulation and limitations are in place specific to chickens.
