I grew up in So Cal with chickens & ducks and any other imaginable animal. The local feed stores don't have any? Check with the clerk's at feed stores they always know who has what available. Can you get an incubator and purchase fertilized eggs?
Better yet get the hell out of Cali. We defected 10 years ago to a rural area in Northern Arizona. I was 4th generation Californian. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Not sure what the regulations are where you are but can you buy an incubator and get hatching eggs, either from a neighbor or the mail. They are not great but a lot of chicks are hatched in those cheap incubators, including with mailed eggs. Or build one yourself. You can find all kinds of instructions online.

It is not legal to buy any fertille eggs, if i had a roster i would be o.k. california sucks. I think i will ask one of neighbors have an extra roster.

I also am in CA. and my local feed stores do sell chicks and fertilized eggs to incubate. It is my understanding that your local city/county ordinances decide the chicken/ chick laws.
Good luck to you!

I assume this is because of virulent Newcastles and the restrictions are still in place. You cannot legally have eggs, chicks or chickens shipped in to you. Breeding your own probably is one of the only options.
