Unfortunately you are not allowed to have chickens in the unincorporated areas of the county of Sacramento unless you have a lot size that is larger than 10,000 square feet. If your lot size is larger - no problem.
If it is smaller, then your only hope is to work to have the code changed, or have neighbors who do not complain. Our best bet in Sacramento County is to work to get the code changed. Currently the cities in the county which allow backyard chickens are Folsom, Sacramento, Elk Grove, Galt, and Isleton. Citrus Heights and Rancho Cordova copied their city codes directly from the county codes when they incorporated and hence require 10,00 square foot lots.
