>>302849Sorry I didn't read the first part for some reason. I live about ~60 miles east of temecula which is about an hour or 2 from LA/San diego. I've been in your thread since like the first or second comment lol I think it's just been us 2 and one or two other comments so far. The chicken egg thing I haven't heard, I'm getting chickens this year as soon as I finish the coop. I raised rabbits which were fun but I'm ready for a few chickens. Don't have to be a millionaire for them just need the space and a little know-how, I'm told. I'd love a honeybee hive, but there;s not enough flowers out here in the desert for them to survive just yet, but I'm working on it. I spread California wildflower mix out last year and this year they seem to be popping up all around. I'm not sure I'm im allergic to bees or not, never been stung despite having them on me all the time. Never been stung or bitten by any bug actually. Here's some cut flowers from last year.
