Melbourne Fl hens to good home

[sunnyb2u]

Hi, Its been about 2.5 yrs now of chickening and its been great but unfortunately we've lost some hens to predators. The constant battle to keep squirrels from eating the chickens' food is also getting to be too much. We only have 2 hens left, Franny (RIR) and Janie (EE), both are laying, Franny about 1 a day and Janie about 1 every other day. Am wondering if anyone would be interested in them, they would be free to a good home. I also have a coop I'd be willing to part with. Thanks!

I live in London UK so I can't take them, but I know someone who has just moved to Melbourne from Brisbane where she kept chickens, I'll see if she would be interested.

It looks really nice in Google! What predators do you have?

All kinds and depending on the age of the chickens... snakes, weasels, rats, owls, hawks, raccoons and I've heard foxes. Hardware cloth, not just chicken wire, is a must!
