When my daughter and son-in-law sold their house they offered their coop in the sale. The buyers also wanted their hens, but they had had them for a year and were totally attached to them. So they bought four chick, brooded them and had them in the coop by closing on the house. Worked out well.Well, since it seems to be a topic, I am selling my present place and moving. I've been telling the prospective buyers that if they want to have the chickens, I'll leave them as it will be a royal PITA to try to move them with me. If anyone here is interested, they are all a little over 2 years old, 6 BA hens that were with a rooster till about 2-3 weeks ago when that roo attacked me and met his maker. 6 BO hens (or maybe it's 5) with a roo. One of the hens has a badly damaged wing join, but she's a fighter and won't give up, so I haven't culled her. Then there are 3 New Hampshires with a roo, and finally 4 White Wyandottes with a WW roo and a Delaware roo. If anyone is interested, let me know.
