Hi folks! Mark in Greenville, SC here.
I really don’t want to, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to sell my 6 ISA Brown girls and the coop I built. I originally started this project because my father passed away before he could get them for my mother. I wanted her to be able to think of him when he saw them.
The chicks were purchased from TSC on March 30, 2016. It’s been a fun little project, but the investment and continuing upkeep heavily outweighs the benefits. I can’t justify the cost anymore.
All 6 chickens are in good health with one going through a big molt as of 12/24/17.
The coop cost about $800 to build (built 4’x6’ with two 2”x4” roosts, two egg boxes, and 6 pressure treated ground contact 4”x4” posts holding it off the ground).
I guess the bottom line is I’d take $20 or best offer per chicken and $700 or best offer on the coop. The coop and chicken buyer would be responsible for pickup and hauling away as I don’t have the resources to do so. I have a feed pipe, watering system, unused leg bands and other supplies that I’d throw in for free if the buyer wanted them.
I also have a 7’x7’x4’ run/enclosure I’d sell for $125 or best offer.
All sales final, no returns. Everything sold as is.
Merry Christmas folks...hope y’all are well!
