Backyard Chickens in Mission Viejo,Ca.

We love our sweet girls. My kids hens have been kicked out by the city. Looking for a way to change the city's ordinance. 

I was forced to give away my chickens (raised since babies and very productive as adults) due to the zoning code.  My chickens are really pets, they are cleaner and quieter than dogs and equally smart in my opinion.  They were comedians who kept me entertained always.

Can we post this petition link on Nextdoor to collect more signatures or would it do more harm than good? 

#6: Joy -  

Joy we too had to give up our chickens, pets like yours, raised from chicks. A noisy neighbor who had late night parties retaliated when we complained, and used animal control to enact his revenge on us and they took our chickens.  The neighbors are new, and of Arab descent and very unfriendly.  Even the animal control officer and the local Sheriff said this type of thing is just wrong and were very sympathetic to us about the whole affair.

Sorry you had a similar experience, we need to get this petition more signatures and legalize chickens in Mission Viejo.

 With the pending food shortages, we should be able to keep a few chickens to have eggs for our families.

I am a MV resident and I would like to have chickens for eggs for my family. With food shortages coming we need to be able to better support ourselves and city ordinances should be reevaluated.
