I'm so excited about the true city ordinance I just found, because the law I thought I was breaking was pretty stupid anyway  We thought we could only have 3 and of course we got more, we have 15. Turns out I can have 19 chickens on my property because we live on a 0.49 acre, which is 21,000s/f. Here's the ordinance:

C. Domesticated fowl. Up to three (3) 
domesticated fowl may be kept on any lot that is at least five thousand 
(5,000) square feet, subject to the provisions of Ch. 8.03 KCC. These 
domesticated fowl are in addition to the small domesticated animals that
 may be permitted on a lot in accordance with subsection (A) of this 
section. One (1) additional domesticated fowl is permitted for each one 
thousand (1,000) square feet of land in excess of the minimum five 
thousand (5,000) square foot threshold. In no case shall a coop or other
 accessory structure that restrains or houses domesticated fowl be 
located closer than ten (10) feet from any other residential lot.

WOOHOO!! I'm excited to get 4 more next year. Brooding them should be more manageable than 15!!
