    Eight hens, four ducks in Ohio Free

    Eight hens, four ducks in Ohio Free

    Located in Shelby county ohio. Four white leghorns, four ISA browns, and four peking ducks. All of them will be two years old in february. The chickens are good productive layers, and the ducks are good at doing duck stuff. They all seem to be healthy. Free

    White leghorn hen in Shelby County Ohio

    I have a white leghorn hen that is getting bullied. She is a little less than a year old, and besides some bumps and bruises from the harassment she is receiving she seems to be in good health. If anyone wants her she is free to a good home. I can deliver if you arent too far away. Thanks!

    Covered runs/yards?

    To the people with uncovered runs; do you have problems with predators? Im in ohio. We do have red tailed hawks in the area. It seems like a full grown chicken would be awfully big for a hawk but what do i know.

    Redsoxs, thanks for the link and advice. The nest box is hanging off the back of the coop, so not eating up the floorspace in the coop. I also plan on a decent sized run, so i hope that will be enough room to keep them happy.

    Hey guys, I've been lurking a while here trying to learn the basics and I thought it was time i join and bring down the collective intelligence of the group, er, contribute, i meant to say contribute. A week ago we went and picked up six leghorn chicks, and are going pick up six more layers when...
