So, did 75% give their permission? If so, I'd get them. You complied with the rule. if 75% say yes, then that means that 25% may say no and you can still get them.

If you keep them well, it's not going to affect the neighbors.
Get the 75% and go for it anyway.

My hens are only noticible if I haven not opened the coop by 7 am and when they lay.. lol

The sound of hens who have laid - we would notice - The sound of planes taking off in the opposite direction MORE noticible!

I definitely am going to wait for the others' decisions, but still, it's gonna be hard. They could easily just call Animal Control on us, and whoosh! there go the chickens. They won't even see the chickens; our lot is big enough that they wouldn't even need to hear them...

b.hromada--as it is, I have to pay $72 for the permit, which requires 75% permission.

Thanks for your support, all!
