Hey there!

 

We are a homeschooling family who lives in Riverside, CA. 92503.  I have been researching and researching about raising a few chickens (less than 4).  It would be super awesome for the kids to experience (myself, too)!

 

Basically, we are in zone R-A.  I was reading on our county website that we need a lot size of 20,000 or more to even have chickens on our property.  We are on a lot size of approx. 9,000.

 

Could someone help?  My mind is spinning and I am uber confused.

 

Thanks so much in advance!

Just noticed your post in the re-homing section and saw you only had 3 posts so I read your posts and saw that no one had as of yet welcomed you to Backyardchickens, soo I wanted to welcome you to BYC!  I also live in the Riverside area.  Used to be Riverside but a little over a year ago became incorporated into the new City of Jurupa Valley.  I hope you find your Roosters a home, I have way too many Roosters or I would take them.  What kind of chickens did you finally get?  If you would like a couple girls I have extras.  Well good luck on finding them a new home, and you have a nice day.

Hello! Welcome to BYC. It's great to see some more SoCal folks!

 

I would recommending calling your local animal control, giving them your zip code and asking them to confirm. I am in the city of Los Angeles and am allowed 5 hens, no rooster as long as they as 25 feet from any residence.

 

I would the rules vary by zone and get pretty confusing but animal control should be able to clear it up for you.

 

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
