I am looking to rehome my flock of 13 laying hens. I have 1 jersey giant/australorp mix, two Buff Orpingtons, two Partridge Rocks, and 8 Rhode Island Reds! The flock lays about 10-12 eggs a day and has been at my house for 3 years. All the birds are calm and on the quieter side, and were recently dewormed. I would prefer to move all of the birds together if possible.
I love these birds, but I will be leaving home soon and I do not want to stick my parents with my chicken house. All birds are healthy and friendly, but they aren't too easy to handle. Unfortunately having such a large number made training them a bit of a challenge - but they are completely used to people.
I am NOT asking for any money here. This is more of an adoption of incredibly productive laying hens in their prime years. I want my hens to go to a proper home with a relatively experienced chicken owner. I have no problem giving the birds to a new owner, as older birds are easier to manage, but if they are going to be integrated into a new flock then I would prefer the person to have experience.
Feel free to send any questions via pm or post them directly on this forum. I am hoping to move the birds soon! Thanks!
