Ok, So I reread my city ordinances today and I think I can have
chickens. When I read them them the first time, I thought it
meant I couldnt because poultry was not defined as an
animal. But then it gives rules for keeping fowl Here are
what the ordinances say, let me know if what you think!:

limited to, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and birds. “Animal”
