Hello I am reading old posts, but I still want to know if you can have chickens in Mission Viejo, CA. If there is a petition to sign, where is it? I just read in the newspaper this month that Mission Viejo allows 2 chickens. The city says no in the bylaws.
Contact me if you have time.

Reading this thread - looked at the codes. It appears that all animals are deemed a nuisance, and then the code carves out an exception for household pets - chickens expressly excluded from household pets. So still does not seem permissible, but it ought to be. I will sign a petition. Are we just looking for one to get one going?

Hello there, Any updates on being able to have chicken in Mission Viejo. I own a home that I want to retire to in 5 years but I like to have chicken and chicken eggs at my home when I retire.

Technically not legal in mission viejo. I understand, however, that many keep 1 or 2

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!

Got this from Google Maps:

Mission Viejo, CA​ You are allowed up to two chickens, and roosters are not allowed. But city code 9.59.115-1 says no chickens allowed.​ I would like to keep chickens. I think we have a right to self sustainability. I would help with a petition.​ There are many in MV that keep chickens. Chickens are less of a nuisance than the stray cats in the neighborhood.​

Sign the petition at petitions24.com,tittled Mission Viejo Chicken Project,thanks
