Hi Kevin,
Great looking coop! I want to build something similar but was thinking of going with an open air version like they built at the OC Great Park, with a tool/storage shed attached.
I did create a facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/SantaAnaChickens) to try to drum up support for...

So, do you currently have chickens? In what part of Santa Ana do you live? A small group was formed when we were advocating changing the code and it would be nice to start a community of chicken enthusiasts. You can contact us at [email protected] if...

Tonight at 6:00 the Santa Ana City Council will consider the proposed amendment to the city's current ordinance re chickens. The proposed amendment reduces the distance requirement from 100' to 30'. Hopefully this will go through without any problem, but we can't be sure that it will. It would...
Go to salemchickens.com. There you will find the document they used to successfully change the chicken ordinance in Salem, OR. Their document does address the property values issue quite well.
The next step for you is to ask the city to amend their ordinance to reduce the distance...

At last night's meeting the Public Safety Committee approved reducing the ordinance's distance requirement from 100' to 30'. The issue will now have to go to the City Council for approval.

Santa Ana's chicken ordinance requires that coops be 100' away from neighbors' residences. We would like to encourage the city relax this requirements. If you would like to help please email us at [email protected].
