Hi everyone, my name is Katie and I am from outside of Los Angeles. I would loveeee to keep some chickens and am in fact in a location that would be perfect and is legal to keep up to 12 hens at a time. However, money is always an issue. Trying to find inexpensive and good ways to start out. I know of lots of places around here that give away free fertilized eggs, mostly from Silkies. Any advice, or opinions are appreciated:D
