I had chickens growing up, (somehow I managed to persuade my parents into a small farm), 5 horses, chickens, ducks etc. Now I'm all grown up and want some chickens. I called the local town hall and they said zoning laws state 1 acre per 2-3 chickens! Granted I am not exactly in a rural area but it certainly isn't citified either. My husband and I own roughly .75 of an acre. Any suggestions?

A lot of urban dwellers are currently working to change laws like that, which is probably your best bet. If you get your neighbors on board and look up the cities that allow more chickens in town, you might have enough information to get the city council to consider a change.
