Backyard Chickens in Simi Valley

[Aao1214]

Hi,
I currently live in Simi valley in an RM zoned area that does not allow backyard chickens. I just got three baby chicks but I am wanting to know if anyone who has backyard chickens in an area not allowed if you have had any issues with neighbors. Not sure if I should tell my neighbors or try to see if they don’t even notice & im not sure what can happen if they do file a complaint with me! If anyone has any info or advice I would greatly appreciate it!

Neighbors are tricky. They might not care - assuming hens. They might not even care about a rooster. Hens can be loud during the egg song or during signs of danger. Typically daytime and not likely to disturb neighbors, but it still depends on the neighbor.

I can't find it online now, but locally someone got a letter from codes. Short version is - Rooster (violation), what is allowed, recommended corrective action, and 30 days to correct. Sent by certified mail.

Good luck.
