    Hello from Altadena, CA (JPL neighborhood)

    Hi Trish! We are also in the Altadena/JPL neighborhood, welcome! We've been here for 3 years and have been keeping chickens for the last 2 (years). We don't have the breed you're looking for but @Dare 2 Dream Farm has 7 week olds right now. We get our girls from them and have always been...

    egg so brittle and thin its crushed by hen.

    Hello, I know this is an older thread but I found it useful as we are currently experiencing this "brittle" shell problem with our 2yo Buff Orpington. Up until this month she had been a regular, daily layer of "normal" eggs (smaller size compared to my other hens), but now every egg is...

    White Earlobe?

    Anyone have any experience with Dare2Dream Farm?

    I just received my first flock of pullets from them and I am very happy! I ended up getting 2 Olive Eggers and 2 Buff Orpingtons from Dare2Dream. They are all incredibly sweet, docile birds and they're settling in nicely. I had them delivered, but only because I was nervous they would sell out...

    anyone in the Altadena, CA area?

    @bigluelok Hi, I am also in Altadena and I haven't looked into this but I know many folks here have chickens without issue. I think you're safe with at least 4 hens (which is what I believe is allowed in L.A. city limits). We may even be able to have more here but I'm not positive. We will be...
