Is it legal to have backyard chickens in California?

its not illegal state-wise

but your county or city may have a ban on them

also they can use existing laws such as noise ordinances to prevent you from having them

its all in your local government, though

which is a good thing, because even if it was illegal (which i highly doubt) one person has the ability to change the law in their county. if it is illegal start going to city hall meetings and telling the city counsel about your request

but honestly i would just get the chickens and see if anyone complains. im sure nobody will

You'll have to look at local livestock zoning laws in the area in which your moving to. If the zoning laws allow for livestock then yes,if your using them as livestock, meaning you intend on have several chickens specifically for egg production or slaughter. If your intending on having one or two chickens as pets, then zoning laws wouldn't necessarily apply. Contact the county extension office for the county to which you'll be moving, they should be able to answer any questions you have concerning the local zoning laws.

yeah you can have um i had three chickens once i don't know the limit though but if they make noise the nieghbors will probably complain

my nighbors were mexican so they didn't mind the noise and the others were relatives so i was a little lucky

I think you need to have a farm, ask the district court

it's legal in WY for sure. the gye that lives next to me has touns

you could have less than 6 only.

Why would you want too? Thats funny, but creepish.

Make sure that you don't have any roosters, they will crow and your neighbors will get mad.
