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...

@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...
@MarilynB That would be great - we won't have ours in until March but I will contact you again around that time and maybe we can set something up. Thanks again!
