My husband and I currently have 5 chickens on the south shore in MA. We have a run for them and occasionally let them free range the yard. We're looking at purchasing a house in Londonderry, NH but after some research we see that there's a 2 acre rule per the town, but no maximums. So you could have a thousand chickens as long as you have two acres. Does anyone have any recent insight on this? I've read a lot that people think it's absurd and people continuously get turned down for permits. We're looking at houses with atleast an acre which is plenty of space for the 6-10 chickens we would want and possibly a few ducks. No roosters wanted. We have them on less than a quarter acre now. This is just crazy to me. What happened to live free or die?! Does it seem like this rule might be overturned anytime soon?:/
