Thanks for all of your replies.  We'll be looking for rentals soon, and will keep all this in mind.  Wish us luck!

East San Jose is good!  Thats where we are, its mostly unincorperated and have  a larger amount of chickens legal. Technicaly this is east foothills, but there is a lot of larger properties, when we bought this one there was a coop from the previous owners ( mind you it was 20 years old...)  I think it is 6 birds in town, but i know some peopel have more, all depends on the neighbors.

 There is a fair bit of Urban  chickens here. Its easier where there are houses, say Mountian View or Cupertino, but those areas are a lot more pricy, too.

 

If you are in town there is no roosters allowed, and  they take noise complaints seriously, so if you have one it needs to be quiet.  Make sure you look into commutes, too, the  freeways around here can get nasty   and you don't want to have to travel on the wrong one to get to work. 

 

90% of the rentals are going to be on craigs list for the whole silly valley.  Might even post a  wanted ad there and see what you can see. fair warning however, there is a housing shortage here  so its tough to find places. Not as bad as SF, but can take a  few months to find something.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT SAN JOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come to my microscopic town!!!!! Its a whole lot more quiet here, and we do NOT have limit on chickens. san jose has a serious chicken law. If you want to see my town google Denair, California. Find me at the high school or at my farm.

We found a place!  It is in Campbell, less than a mile from my husband's new job, has a bunch of fruit trees, large yard, and allows chickens!  We really lucked out on this one!  Now we just have to get some chicks and get started.  Can't wait!!! wee.gif

Gratz! Campbell is a wonderful town. Make sure to check out stacks and the farmers market. be careful to follow the laws there however, they are not lenient about  chickens. This is not a bad time to get chicks, either,  they should be laying by spring when there is enough light and you miss the whole  no eggs in winter thing!

Yes, we love the farmer's market!  Haven't had Stacks yet, but it looks good.  It turns out our next door neighbor has chickens.  Pretty cool.
