    It's silent possible you will be able to legally do this. What you need to check are your cities/counties laws on "exotic birds."

    Amusing enough you can usually keep a few chickens as "exotic birds," when they might otherwise be illegal. These laws are usually for parrots, but chickens can also be kept using these laws.

    Do NOT get a rooster, or your neighbors will DESPISE you.

    Yes it's simple to raise chickens, but, you would need to check with your city Code to determine if it's allowed.

    You need to check your city codes to make sure you can keep livestock or farm animals within the city limits. I live in a city where it is not legal, but I was able to keep a couple of ducks as pets undetected in my back yard. I finally finished up getting rid of them out of consideration to my neighbors. Although they never complained ducks (and chickens as well) stink to high heaven. Even raking and cleaning up the poop didn't work because we had to place it in a pile and sprinkle lime on it and that stunk also. There is a reason that farmers have chicken coops far away from the house.
