Hi!!! I am from Northern California as well. We live in Citrus Heights. We are new in raising chickens and just hearing about those rules that you cannot really raise chickens just make me nerves, whats up with that? Why can't you raise chickens they are live in the coops and not bothering anybody? So you can have dogs and cats but not chickens, huh very wise 
I grew up (18 years) on Hazel Ave in Orangevale. I think there are people who just don't understand chickens. I would much rather hear a rooster once in a while then some dog barking all day since it's owner left it alone and its bored!
