Earlier this year, I was down to one hen, a lovely little black Cochin we called Edna, so we increased our "flock" by two pullets, a Rhode Island Red named Adele and a Barred Rock we called Trudy. Well, Edna passed away recently, and I'm down to two. Ordinarily I'd want to grow another flock by two or three hens, but I'm moving away from Los Angeles next spring and I figure I'd be better off adopting our remaining chickens out now.
However, another wrinkle has presented itself. The Barred Rock we called Trudy seems to have transformed "herself" into a Rudy. "She" has started crowing and become aggressive since the passing of Edna, and I feel like it's only a matter of time before the neighbors start to complain.
So if your Barred Rocks are in need of a rooster, please think about giving this guy a flock to manage. And if you'd like to take Adele, the Rhode Island Red, she's a good steady egg layer, less than a year old. They can go to separate homes, as they don't seem to like each other very much. Both are available now in Valley Village, with scratch and feed supplied as well. Thanks.
