FYI, if you live in then LA area and have been thinking about raising chickens, there is going to be a hen adoption event in Echo Park this October. There isn't a firm date yet but it will probably be the second or third week in October.
The rescue group organizing the event is called the Animal Place and they are based in northern California. Since they are driving the hens down here, they will only be bringing down as many chickens as there are pre-arranged rescuers. You can contact them on their website about adoption to reserve a hen. They are apparently young and laying eggs. The Animal Place specializes in rescuing farm animals. They rescued thousands of these lady chickens after they had been abandoned for weeks at a defunct egg farm. The whole story is on their website.
So help a critter out and enjoy some homegrown eggs!
