Does anyone know if chickens are legal in Sacramento 95864 (he lives in a place called Arden arcade) he also said he loves outside of city limits in the county.

I found it.

It depends on where you are in Sac, and your zoning (what zone your house is in). This is what the city code says:

9.44.860 Keeping of chickens—Unlawful—Restrictions.

A. It is unlawful to keep, possess, or maintain chickens on any parcel of property located in the city, except in accordance with the following restrictions:
1. A maximum of three hen chickens may be kept on a developed lot used exclusively for residential purposes, but only if authorized under a permit issued pursuant to this article.
2. All hen chickens shall be confined in a pen, coop, or cage, or other enclosure at all times.
3. All hen chickens shall be kept within an enclosure that is at least 20 feet distant from any dwelling unit on an adjacent parcel. The definition of “dwelling unit” in section 17.108.050 of this code shall apply to this section. Enclosures shall be situated in the rear yard. Enclosures shall not obstruct or partially obstruct any required exits from any dwelling unit.
4. No hen chickens shall be kept in the front yard on any developed lot used exclusively for residential purposes.
5. No hen chickens kept on a lot shall be allowed to create a noise disturbance audible on any adjoining lot.
6. No hen chickens shall be slaughtered on any developed lot used exclusively for residential purposes.
B. Roosters are not permitted on any developed lot used exclusively for residential purposes. (Ord. 2013-0021 § 30; Ord. 2011-039 § 2)

This article shall not apply:
A. To any parcel of property zoned for agricultural uses by applicable provisions of the Planning and Development Code or to any property zoned rural estates and located within the area bounded by Sotnip Road on the south, Sorento Road on the west, and East Levee Road on the north and east (and generally known as Valley View Acres), or to any property zoned M-1(S)R-AOL and located with the area fronting on Ascot Avenue and bounded by Dry Creek Road on the west and Raley Boulevard on the east (and generally known as the Ascot Avenue overlay zone).
B. Where keeping, harboring, or maintaining hen chickens would constitute a valid nonconforming use under the applicable provisions of the Planning and Development Code. (Ord. 2013-0021 § 31; Ord. 2011-039 § 2)

Good, back to eating and drinking as normal, no blood in poop today. That sure was scary! Thank you for your help.

It was a real group effort!

Lots of great advice. I had not thought of giving a real sick you an extra strong dose. Corid is amazing for saving them when they get sick like that.

It was a parasite so they will recover and be completely normal now. The second treatment will help them build immunity but watch them until they are 9 months old for a second bout.

If they do get a second bout uf you can find it try the other s drug. (Not sulmet) that I can never remember the name of. It works on different versions of the bug and may be better with the non blood cocci.
