Chicks and Bees in Los Angeles area (Long Beach)

[selenek]

I'm new to chickens but am thoroughly enjoying my new Buff Orpington chicks (6). I'm just checking to see if anyone is from around these parts.

My husband and I are working with other like minded people to change the local laws regarding backyard chickens and bees (and pygmy goats). If you are interested in any of the above, I would love to hear from you.

Hello and

. I am in Alhambra, just where the 710 ends. I have 15 hens. The city says I'm allowed 15. Someone called animal control and they came out and counted the girls!! I had 18 then and he just told me to get rid of 3. This is a wonderful place for all your chicken questions and concerns! Glad you joined us!

Hi Selene

I'm located in the San Fernando Valley but visit Long Beach often. I didn't realize more than one chicken was not allowed within 50 feet of a neighboring residence until today. I read this entire thread this morning and there are quite a few people actively trying to change the law. I hope you'll be able to connect with someone.

There are some changes coming (not sure when but hopefully soon) concerning the numbers of chickens and their location within properties in Long Beach, CA. For those interested in these changes visit longbeachlocalbeekeepers.blogspot.con and scroll down to "support local beekeeping" to see them.
