URGENT: NEED HOME FOR 6 LAYING HENS

I live on the Northeast side of Tucson. Because of a critical family illness, I will need to be spending extended periods of time in Phoenix for the next year or more
I have six laying hens that are healthy and I need someone who can take all of them together. I don't have time to find six different homes. There are two leghorns (Tee-one and Tee-two) that lay x-large to jumbo eggs, a buff Orphington (Annie) lays nice roundish brown eggs, an Easter Egger (Layla) that lays mint green eggs, a Dominique (Angela) and a Barred Rock (Carissa) that lay brown eggs. They are all healthy and active. The Leghorns are molting right now, the other hens molted earlier this fall. I will also give you any layer pellets, Oyster shell, and grit as well as a big box of egg cartons I bought. I probably have other supplies I haven't thought of if you need them. I'd appreciate anyone who can give them a new home. Please post reply or private message from this site-I will be checking the site and my email frequently. Thanks! Terri

Oh My Gosh they sound beautiful!!

I will definitely PM you like RIGHT NOW

Is anybody interested in a free, very people friendly, mixed-breed rooster. His name is Harley and he's part EE, part Dorking-mix, part Ameraucana. He's got a floppy rose comb that covers one eye most of the time. (Yes, my rooster has a comb-over.) He carries the blue egg gene and has five toes instead of four (courtesy of the Dorking blood). He comes from a line of strong egg layers, but simply doesn't fit into my breeding program. I just don't have the heart to cull him since he's so sweet and affectionate, and with his more streamlined body he wouldn't be a good supplier of meat anyway. He's still rather young - he hatched March 20th of this year, and shows a bit of inexperience with wooing the ladies but is getting better at it every day.

If interested, please PM me. I'd like to see him go to a good home where he will continue to be loved. He's one of my snugglers.

*gasps* a snuggler!?!?!?

That's chicken math for you!

When's your next hatch? lol

I currently have 6 Blue and Splash Australorp eggs that I set at 6 PM on Dec. 10th from my own flock. They are due to hatch out for the New Year:

I candled them late last night before I went to bed, and I have seen movement like they were swimming going on in all 6 of them. They kind of resemble a little bean in a way. Anyways, if they are moving around like that there is life going on in them, right?

I love watching those little alien-like embryos flitting around inside the egg. Hatching is one of my favorite things to do...which is why I'll be up to 100 chickens in the next few days. I put 22 eggs in lockdown last night. Now....I lost a lot of time throughout the day staring down at those wiggling eggs.

The first time that I did a hatch, I was almost constantly standing over the incubator. The last time I hatched back in October, I kept an eye on them, but didn't stand over them as much. I guess that you lose the need to be so worried about them with each hatch that you do. I seem to be getting a good hatching rate. I set eggs this time because someone wants some of my Splash Australorps girls from this hatch, but I only put a small batch in- just 6 eggs.

Wow, 100 chickens? I'm going to try to control myself on that. I have been thinking of only doing hatches on mine when I have orders for them.
