They don't allow the chickens here in our town either. I do it is totally unfair. I mean NYC allows chickens so we should too!
It happened to me even on the farm I had a neighbor moved in from a big city. She was about 5 telephone poles away from us but 1 of my roo's loved her wood pile by her bed rm window. She got all pissy cuz he would wake her at sunrise crowing in her window then she couldn't get back to sleep because he kept pecking at her window eating bugs! I told her not to worry after a few months she will sleep right through him crowing and pecking and that she should be grateful he's killing so many bugs! But it wasn't gratitude she was feeling! 
But then it started 1st battle I won cuz it was zoned farm land. 2nd battle I won she claimed we had rats I said BS we have hunting cats and chickens! Inspector came dwn and said we were right there was no rats on our farm but did find a horde of rats under her dog kennels! Then the health dept came dwn and said we either had to cage the chickens or fence of the whole farm and it had to have a wire top so they can't fly out. I said BS but I only won 1/2 that battle they compramised we fenced in an acre w/ a top. But I still wasn't happy. But all those court battles were expensive! So raising chickens in the city would be cruel cuz they can't range and they would make you cage them I wish I could cage them
