I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please post a
clarification request and wait for me to respond before closing/rating
my answer. I haven't been able to confirm the limit of three chickens
as suggested in the Mother Earth News article, so I would suggest
phoning your local animal service before reducing the number.
Thank you,
hummer
