I would look up the local ordinances before building. Sounds like you have a plan, but I wouldn't want to put in all the work and then have someone tell me to take it down. Also, don't get any roosters. They can be really loud and obnoxious. What type of chickens do you think you will get? Good luck, Susan in Georgia

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Chicken coops for renters
Hi all, we just spent the day touring Davis, CA on a bicycle chicken coop tour and are completely sold on building a coop. As far as I know they are legal here in W. Sacramento, CA.
My concern is that we are renters and don't want to have to get "permission" to build a coop. We've been here six months and no one from the property management group has ever come out, but we do have ocassional repairman come out, for example a guy is coming next week to replace the window screens where we plan to build a coop.
I've already spent over $500 of my own money to buy lawn equipment and dirt to turn a backyard from 3 foot tall weeks to a nice lawn - and didn't ask permission. Is "don't ask, don't tell" the best policy.
I think the owners would be cool (she's a vet) but the property managers would be a hassle. I had to talk them into letting me have my dog which involved a $500 deposit.
We live on a corner and the area for the coop would have no neighbors on the other side of the fence and would be some distance from any houses. None of the coops we saw today had caused any problems with smell or noise.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, Tony
