I need to re-home a large portion of my birds, sadly. Since I let them roam freely, the younger ones are mixed between blue wheaten ameraucanas, splash silkied ameraucanas, favorelle, buff orpington, and black copper french marans. The eggs are either blue, green, very pale green, dark brown, or tan--I don't have any white egg layers.
I currently have about 40 birds, but due to losing my husband they're going to be too much for me to properly care for myself. I'd prefer for the young roosters (about 5 months old) to go first so the hen to rooster ratio stays good. Currently everyone gets along, some are flighty, some like to be cuddled before going in for the night. My older birds--2-4yrs old I'll probably keep since they've only known here. I'll post pictures of them in the coming days, they all have names.
I live in New Braunfels, TX. It's between San Antonio and Austin. I don't know how to ship birds, so I really want only local pickup, or I could meet you half way (depending on how far half way is--this is Texas) if you have your own carrier (I only have one carrier that can comfortably hold two roosters (they all get along) or three hens.

Hopefully you find new homes for them! Try posting in the Texas thread.->
