It seems these limits are meant to discourage "production with intent to distribute" but allow just enough to provide for consumption only. Of course, if one has a large family, so few chickens may not even provide enough. This must be maddening.
Then My hb got a job transfer to Western Pa, I did my homework and called every township zoning commissioner before we decided on a house to make sure we'd be allowed chickens at our new home. We decided on a house with .7 acres. weird thing is when the zoning commissioner in our new township read the zoning ordinance to me ( 3 chickens per acre) he then actually said I'm allowed 1 1/2 chickens! He is also the chief of police! So, How do I do that!?!??
Hi Debra
Typically 1 ½ chickens means 3 bantams or 1 rooster and a hen. Towns in Western PA are far different than Eastern PA and have a lot higher restrictions.
Not much you can do but just accept that. I would recommend checking with the town council as well as the chief of police takes orders from them and not the other way round.
Best of luck
