Anyone want a free chicken or 2.

[Pootersmama]

Hi all,

I live in northern NJ and am very new to backyard chickening. I have a small coop and ended up with 6 chickens.

The last 3 were 1 more than I really wanted and I am finding a flock of 6 is too many.

Not to mention the newer 3 are way bigger than the original 3 and they are mean to the smaller birds. I have a leg horn I would like to see go to a good home and possibly a Red Star. They were hatched in mid March. Any takers....

How far are you from Mass? I am a huge fan of free!

wouldn't mind taking them but you are about 1000 miles from me. Would you deliver?

Fom Mass. about 5 hours, we are 45 minutes from NYC.
Tenn. They are free, I am not shipping....

I would think about keeping the red star, they are such good egg layers. mk

I would love to have them but 5 hours is quite far. Can you mapquest from your location to Palmer ma? Im only 1-1/2 hrs from NYC depending on time of day and traffic on 95.

Me & My Peeps...According to map quest you are 188 miles from me. 3 1/2 hours (mapquest does over estimate time). Up to you, I would love her to go to a good home.

How many you looking to rehome again? 188 miles X2 = 376 miles round trip and a day in the truck divided by "X" chickens............any of them laying yet? That would certainly sweeten the pot

 

[Pootersmama]

They have not started laying yet (they may be close to the age though)....as of right now 1 definate, I would have to think about the other/red star....

As far as flock managment, I have a Maran and 2 Silkies I am keeping, they are still young and the original 3. We added 3 others, the leghorn, a red star, and a golden laced wydonette. The hubs is partial to the wydonette. I want to tip the balance so they don't attack the smaller chickens. I think the coop is too small for all 6. I really only wanted 5, but the person who gave them to me talked me into taking 3.

Hi, I am in Southern NJ near Cherry Hill and am interested. Are the 2 chickens still available?
