I only just joined a couple of months ago myself, but have gleaned a TON of information from it non the less. I live in SoCal - smack dab in the middle of a subdivision where Chickens are not allowed. I have 6 pullets- (1SLW,1GLW,4EE) and my next door neighbor knows about them and is delighted they are there. We are currently on egg watch waiting for those first delicious eggs- they are 19 weeks.
Welcome again fellow Californian!
