As for temperament I don't need cuddly chickens I just don't want aggressive ones who will pack my granddaughter.
I have 2 small dogs, a tortoise and soon will have a cat so I am good on lap animals, I just don't want my granddaughter to have a bad experience with the chickens.
Honestly I don't know how hot it will get there, I live in the SFV now and it gets petty hot I can only imagine it is hotter in Lakeview Terrace since it is farther from the ocean.
