the small meetup event I am having is at my house, and is advertised on the Los Angeles Urban Chicken enthusiasts Meetup as an event in Orange County. If you have a problem finding it, I can email you. There is a woman wanting to organize a non-profit for educating about hens in OC, and a feed...
http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Urban-Chicken-Enthusiasts/events/215720122/?a=co1.1_grp&rv=co1.1 should work to access the meetup site. Or just go on the web, type meetup, then search for the group. Let me know if you can't find it. You may have to signup but I don't remember if that is so. No...
Check out the Meet-up group (through Los Angeles Urban Chicken Enthusiasts) as they are planning a chicken meet-up in Orange County, possibly in Fountain Valley. The event is the Orange County Chicken Enthusiasts.
I am in Fountain Valley and helping to organize a Meet-up group in Orange County if you are interested, with an event to occur around February. Look under Orange County Chicken Enthusiasts working through the Los Angeles Urban Chicken Enthusiasts Meet-up group.

Tips on Raising Chickens in Orange County
I wrote this hoping others would learn from MY mis- takes, because I love raising chickens. My initial image of cute hens running around like on a ranch only works if you aren’t worried about your plants being dug...
Since this post was done in 2011, I presume you have solved the problem, but this is for others reading the posts, too. I read vaccinate day 1, but a booster shot after about a month old. Perhaps that is where the confusion lies. If Merek's is not in your area, you are lucky, but it if is, there...
Thanks for all the comments. My yard is so small, and the dander does fly, so I don't really have room to build another other than next to the old one, but I am waiting at least until they are four months old, or perhaps five months (if I can handle hens inside that long). I do enjoy watching...
I own five hens, but had serious problems finding a good hatchery at first, so lost four of the originals to disease, and had to give one back to a friend due to a pecking issue. But I do have two pullets now, and three hens. I am keeping the pullets in my family room as the outside coop...
Tips on Raising Chickens in Orange County
I wrote this hoping others would learn from MY mistakes, because I love raising chickens. My initial image of cute little hens running around like on a ranch only works if you have a gigantic yard, a dog (like my friend does) that protects them, aren’t...
That's where I got my hens! Russell is the owner. Riverside (Norco) has a problem with Marek's disease (a hen died and I did a necropsy to verify this), so be sure your new hens are vaccinated the first day after birth if you get a hen from elsewhere, even if they say the new hen doesn't have...
I spray them with a "mist" setting on the hose (has to be a light setting or they get upset). And when I clean (wash) the coop, that cools the soil which I do in the summer a little.
I bought two chicks at one month old that I could not vaccinate due to their age (must be done the first day), so I am raising them inside the house for four months because I have lost hens in the coop due to Marek's. The three hens in the coop now were exposed, but did not die and are around...
