    San Diego Chicken meetup and Chat thread

    Anyone outside the city interested in a trained Cochin bantie roo? Gorgeous, friendly little guy, 14 weeks old, unluckily in city limits. I have been clicker training him and he's quite smart (for a chicken!). Looking for yard, not stew pot. Full posting under "Animals in Need of Free...

    Clicker-trained Red Cochin Bantam Roo -- San Diego

    Looking for a country home with roaming privileges for a beautiful, friendly bantie rooster, 14 weeks old. He is not just a pretty face either -- he's been clicker training for several weeks and is quite the smarty-featherpants. He is my favorite, and he and my two girls are inseparable, so...

    URGENT: San Diego zoning question / "single family unit" designation
