Lady Amherst raising

[The Silkie specialist]

So I recently got a pair or lady Amherst pheasants and I just want to know if they’re illegal to keep in Southern California and how big of trouble would I get in.

They are not illegal to keep, and as non native birds you do not need a license to keep them.

I'm hoping that California does not have some sort of weird 'exotics' law. You might want to ask this question on the Ca. state thread.
