The law states that you can have 4 chickens, no roosters, but the coop has to be at least 100ft from another home. That is pretty much impossible unless you live in an unincorporated area. I was just wondering if anyone had had any experiences with chickens in Santa Ana....I'm hoping it won't be an issue. The neighbor to my left lives across the country 11 months of the year, and the other side of me is currently in foreclosure...the people behind me do not speak English well, so I haven' tried talking to them about chickens yet.
