I live in Pasadena and I would advise you not to get a rooster. I am saying this because I have one and you will have to do a lot of work to keep them from going off at 4am. I house mine in a soundproof compartment until 9am and my neighbor lets him out since I am at work. I got him as a wee lad...
My very heavy Buff Orp. took a flying leap about 30 ft down a hillside and landed splat at the bottom. She was dazed and about 15 min later passed a broken egg. This was 4 days ago and she seems fine. Eating and drinking as usual , no blood in droppings ,but no eggs. She is about 9 months old.
