Hi, you will find that there are many many chicken owners in the Altadena area. Many of them also raise gardens and are part of the RIPE Altadena group (residential in-season produce exchange) - yo can see the website at ripealtadena.com. evitachu asked me to pm her, but I can't figure out how...

HI Haleth - if you are near the Arboretum, check out Wes's Pets in El Monte. He has baby chicks pretty much year round, and he will even add a certain breed to his order if there are some that you want that he was not including. Then he will hold them for you once the order come in. He's very...

onthespot; I may be interested in your blue layers also. Can you e-mail me directly with prices? [email protected] Thanks - I'm in the Pasadena area.

OCChickens; I missed your first post about hatching... I have fertile Easter Eggers (Americana) if you wanted to hatch those. I am in Altadena, above Pasadena by 3 miles. Good luck with the eggs! Gail

I hatched them from egg-bid. Polish, blue eggs. I don't know if this person is still selling or not, as it was a year ago. Gail

Oh, no, its not. The original message was actually from a year ago, May of 2007. We kept our favorite roos, and then just had to give them away as we have too much to take care of (we used to put them in a box every night so that they would not wake up the neighborhood.) Then we had to let them...

You just missed him! May 26th he left us. He was great too, puff of grey, I thought just beautiful, as he was soooo puffy. Anyway, Buba is giving him a good home now, out toward Valincia. :-)

Is it too late to get Oranges? I live in the San Gabriel Valley and get out to the San Fernando Valley now and then. Gail

Depending how much you want some.... I believe Wes's Feed store has older hens. He gets lots as baby chicks, and keeps some until they are older. They may not be laying just yet, but are at least 2 or 3 months old. He is in El Monte (near Monrovia). You can look up his phone number in google w...

Divoria - very interesting. Kind of what I was wondering. So they are breaking even at $1 a doz., but their feed is so much less. Actually, about 3 times less, so I'd be breaking even at about $3 a dozen. I live in the city, pretty much. I can really relate to what Buc said: the pure pleasure of...

I wanted to search the files to see if anyone has ever posted as to how much it costs to feed a chicken and get one egg (or a dozen.) I can't figure out how to search the files. I thought that I could do that before. I also read the post: How much does a 50 lb bag of organic feed cost, and I...

arwmommy, I don't know if you ever found your feed for less, because I stopped reading after about 5 pages of this 11 page post. Azure Standard is a co -opportunity that sends a truck down from oregon. They have organic pellets, 50 lbs, for $18. The truck stops in Paso and in San Luis. From what...

We hatched chicks in May, and have not had the heart to send our baby roos to the feed store, where they can go home as "food." But the crowing is becoming unbarable, and so they must go. Some are quite interesting. Java - an older large breed variety. We hatched one hen and one roo. The roo...

When I think of Frazier Park, I think of a great place to see the stars at night! It's such a long drive though... Any spare rooms you rent out for chicken stargazers?

ML, You don't seal up the box with tape! You just leave it upside down on top of the opening flaps. We're in So Calif. It gets hot too, but probably not as hot as some places. It stays about 70 degrees at night in the summer. How hot are you? I mean, you can try airholes, just don't make so big...
