Hi guys, I've been building my coop and found a lady on craigslist who is re-homing her flock of five friendly hens. They're 1.5 years old, the breeds are Brahma, Buff orpington, Red Star, Maran, and one she can't remember. These were some of the breeds I was looking for, and the size of flock I wanted, and they're adults, which is good for me going into the winter (I might add 2-3 more chicks in the spring).
I'm going to see/get them Sunday. What should I look for when examining these girls? Is there a way to tell if the age is accurate?
Also, transport. I was planning on using dog kennels, hopefully two in one and three in another. Would that work? It's about an hour drive from her house to mine. How much space do they need for transport?
Thanks!
