I just checked on CL and tried to put a pattern together. It looks like:
I have some nice pullets available, Aussies, Delaware, EE, and Barred Rocks. I'm in manatee county, just south of the Hills line off of I-75 .....stanI just replaced my old ratty chicken coop with the world's most awesome coop. It's big enough to house about 30 chickens LOL, but I only have 2 three-year-old hens (a BO and a BR - my EE died last month). I want to get 3 more, but at this point have no idea where to get 3 from... I'd love young pullets, but I don't know how to go about finding some locally. I'd like a good layer or two and a fancy pretty girl (polish, showgirl or silkie). I don't need show quality birds - just happy healthy birds... I can't hatch eggs bc I can't have roosters where I live and would have to rehome the DAY they crowed... and I don't want to wait for chick season at the local feed stores to buy sexed chicks bc that's a loooooong wait.
I'll post pics of my coop later, but it's 6' wide x 8' long x 8' tall. We're finishing off the hardwire cloth on the windows this weekend, tiling the interior, finishing painting the exterior and attaching it to our existing run. I'll eventually sell my old coop bc it would be useful for someone out there.
Ideas for me on how I can get three more hens?
Thanks so much for the ideas everyone!! I'm in rural Seminole County - about 30 min's from Titusville one direction and about 30 min's from downtown Orlando the other direction. I've got a couple of young kids home for the summer and I'm not sure driving a couple of hours to a chicken swap would work out
We treat our chickens like lap dogs (LOL) and I want them young so we can spend a lot of time handling them so they come to us and sit with us.... We have two huge dogs so i suppose this is how we get our "little pet" fix. My husband thinks I'm slightly nuts, but he humors me - and hired a HUGE forklift to just move our new chicken coop, so he's a good sport.
