I've lived in my house near Sacramento for 30 years. There has always been chickens and ducks in the neighborhood, and we are hardly third world.

There are also geese, peafowl, quail, guinea fowl, horses, and llamas in the area where houses are still valued at more than 400k or more.

Nearby, the community of Fair Oaks takes great pride in the fact they have beautiful chickens roaming the neighborhoods.

The presence of these feathered guys does not equate to the third world transplanted.

I watched the town I grew up in become a third world slum. My beautiful neighborhood now is slowly turning. We now have rentals with 3-4 families living in them.
Farm animals are against code where I live in the city. Where the people in the article live it is against the city code. These lots are not zoned for animals.
But of course I guess codes don’t matter if you are an illegal. All that matters is you get to bring in your goats, chickens, etc. on small lots not meant for animals. If it makes them feel more at home I guess it is worth it.

Yes, yes, so did I, steveo. This is NOT your typical rural/suburban situation. One day, 2 of the aliens ‘chickens’ got onto my patio to fight. There was blood from the roof line to the fence and all over the house before I could get them ran off. How do you feel about laundry hanging all over the fences, deck railings every day in the FRONT YARD. The lots I had were 2 acres, but the 25 aliens
that moved in couldn’t recreate on the 2 acres...NO, they had to be in the street, hangin’ with their homies....beating on the hood of my realtors car as He tried to show my property.
Btw, they don’t bother with bathrooms when they need to whiz, they use the street. How much of that do you have in your ‘hood’?

I live out in the country and I would rather have chickens next door than the dog that is left outside to bark night and day. I listened to him until 3am this morning. Or the (white) trash that rented next door for a year and had multiple chained dogs, kenneled cats, trash and rubbish strewn everywhere and piled up high.

We have goats nearby, horses and cows. No exotics yet (that I’m aware of). Hubby and I were just talking last week about getting a few chickens, use the eggs and sell the surplus. We’re not Hispanic and neither are any of our neighbors.
