I agree, what breeds are you looking for. If you just want birds for eggs, maybe there are some swap meets in your area.

Also poultry shows are good places to meet some good breeders. Some breeders also sell birds at swap meets. The shows will start up again in the fall.

I want buff orpingtons and blue laced red Wyandottes

Are you looking for large fowl or bantam Wyandottes? At our monthly swaps that was posted a few posts ago we have a breeder that usually comes to the swaps that has bantam SLW's and GLW's. Many times a breeder may know of another breeder that has exactly what you're looking for. Good luck and have fun...

I'm in Riverview, Florida. I have two hens I need to rehome as soon as possible due to husband's new position will require some travel. It's killing me as they are my pets. I need to find them a home where I can be absolutely certain that they will NEVER be slaughtered!! NEVER!! No exceptions!! I want them to live out their lives until the day they die naturally. They are 1 1/2 yrs old. One is a Barred Rock and the other an Easter Egger. Also, my Barred Rock no longer lays good eggs. For two months she's laid mainly only soft shell eggs. She's fine, active, playing, eating and drinking!! I believe that she's not able to process calcium properly anymore for some reason?? I've given her extra calcium without any results, thus why I think this. But again, she's fine, she's not sick in any way!! These two gals have been together their entire lives and are totally inseparable!! They go insane if you separate them even for a moment. They must always remain together!! I don't know how they'd react to being placed in a home with other chickens and am also afraid they'd be picked on badly if put in with an established flock?? Ideally, it would be awesome if someone wanting to get some chickens as pets would be interested in just taking these two beautiful girls and just keeping the two of them perhaps. I guess I'm asking alot but I just love these two chickens with all my heart and at the moment my heart is just breaking at having to give them up. It was never my intention. If there is anyone in our area who would be able to help me and give my girls a great new home without causing them too much trauma, please write me. My email address is: [email protected] if you'd prefer to write me there. Thank you so much for any help you can provide me with.

I will keep you in mind, if you still have them. Never know when someone only wants a couple of hens that are laying.

As for the BR lady, I had a Silkie with similar issues (purchased her from someone who was going to cull her permanently) , and after some 'Kickin' Chicken Poultry Feed Supplement', along with added oyster shell (very little) she now lays nice eggs again. She is now free ranging also, which she didn't get to do before so it may have been a combo of things with her.
