Need rental space for flock of 20 chickens, 1 duck

Back of the Yards neighborhood in Chicago.
My dad currently has 20 chickens and 1 duck and is looking for a place to rent where he can keep them. Ideally, the property would be in Chicago, near his current location, or slightly outside the city. We would prefer not to go north of Chicago if possible.

Our main goal is to keep the flock together. If anyone has leads, recommendations, or available space, we would be incredibly grateful.

13-week-old black Polish roo seeks quality home. He’s had the Marek’s vaccine. We got him from Cackle Hatchery in Missouri. We’re in Wheaton but I’m willing to drive him. Pic is from about 2 weeks ago. I know for sure he’s a rooster because he crows.
