I heard that is was not possible due to some ordinances about the housing for them having to be at least 100 feet from any building and 100 feet from any property line.

Anyone have any links to this? Searching the Muni data base is confusing!

Depends on zoning. chickens likely ok most places, roosters not so much.

Specifics depend on zoning of the location.
