Mission Viejo, CA ? So are they legal or not?

[kingcreole]

Anyone still have chickens?  I SO want to find a way to change the city ordinance to allow chickens as pets like they do in Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach.  Outdated laws...If I have to listen to dogs bark...they can handle a chicken.  At least my chickens won't poop on their lawns and at least mine will make great fertilizer for the garden!

Hello,

I looked for Mission Viejo Chicken project on Petition24.com but found nothing. Was it removed? Any progress?

Thank you.

Hi,

I have some questions about the legality of keeping chickens. I live in Mission Viejo, Ca. I'm finding all sorts of lists of cities where it's legal to keep chickens online and Mission Viejo is on that list for 2 hens, no roosters allowed. But city code 9.59.115-1 says no chickens allowed. It specificially reads Animals . Animals, livestock, poultry or bees kept, bred or maintained for any purpose or in violation of any provision of the City Municipal Code. I had called the city back in Spring 2008 and was told I was not allowed to keep chickens. But now I'm finding all this lists that say I can but nothing in the city code. Does anyone know about this? Anyone keeping chickens in Mission Viejo?

Thanks!

Hi!
I have a serama chicken pet for my 9 years old boy and the neighbor complained about it. The police and animal control visit us and told that we need to remove the chicken in the community or they will charge us. With our situation in pandemic time the only good for our children to be back in nature and not to be addicted in war games electronic things, let them learn to love the nature and chicken are the part of nature. What is the different between dogs, cats and birds to a chicken specially for miniature one. Please help us to change this laws.

Take it up with City Hall meeting. Express your concerns. And back up your positive claims of having chickens. What you can do to mitigate smell and noise pollution from chickens.

Did you ever take it up with the city and, if so, what was the outcome? I have wanted to have chickens for years!
