I just built a chicken coop (nice building something with my hands) and I just put 7 chickens in there.

No asking for permission with the town because of course they'll have something bureaucratic and dumb thing to say.

We're on good terms with all the neighbors, and just mentioned the chickens in passing. Everyone was excited to get eggs. It was a neighborly project.

We live in small town Maine, where I guess we do things differently than in Michigan.

True for a lot of ordinances.
