Moving is a must, they have to go. 😭 NorCal, Colusa county

Hi, all. Having chickens has been my life dream. I’ve had the chance to live it for a good couple years, but the property I’m on keeps getting more run down instead of better. Due to furthering health decline combining with that, I need to rehome my flock in full or piecemeal.
I’ll try to get some good pictures of everyone today, but we have mostly docile older hens who’re still laying strong, some flighty hens of the same age who are laying strong, too, a tough one eyed rooster (his injury happened last month and he’s currently living out his days in a large cage with rotating partners to avoid him losing the other) who is fine with being handled, a house rooster who thinks he’s a dog, and several young roos (who are driving all the girls ragged) & few young hens who I don’t think have started their laying yet.
They’re all flat out gorgeous (aside from one-eyed Chip, but he’s one of the three that gave us all the beauties).
They’re all barnyard mixes, so I don’t know what they’d produce, but I’ve had people mention breeds by name on seeing pictures of some in passing.

I'm so sorry. I wish I were closer.

To stop the cockerels from over-mating the hens, you can temporarily put them in a bachelor pad- https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/rooster-flocks.72998/.

Good luck finding them homes!

I am interested in this guy only if he has been vaccinated for Maraks disease at 1 day old.

Are all of your other birds vaccinated??? If not you don't want to bring in vaccinated birds.

I have lost 2 birds to Maraks Disease. I need to be careful to have all my new birds vaccinated at 1 day old for this. I didn't know this- but it can be very long lasting. I have to prepare to raise my flock with this Maraks in my barn... and protect all my future birds in kind.

I'm so sorry about your birds! Mareks is a terrible disease.

He hasn’t been, no. He’s one of the ones born here. The originating flock was vaccinated against it and closed from any contact with outside flocks. The young roos we have now are second generation and weren’t vaccinated themselves.
