Moving, need good chicken homes with/without other chickens

[Rafaelsmom]

I have a beautiful healthy rooster and his daughter that would like to find a home with a new flock. He is a sweet gentle boy who will take food from your hand and always feeds his girls before he himself eats. They are used to free-roaming a rather large yard all day so probably would not do well confined to a coop all the time. They are used to being part of a larger flock but I lost one hen this year and want to separate them from the two remaining. Rafael particularly would do well with many more hens to keep him busy. He is very companionable, both with the hens and people.

I have two other chickens that are too low on the pecking order to go to a flock but need a quiet life with a nice family, preferably in the city. Black beauty is a gorgeous solid black with green irridescence and she is getting older and in need of retirement from roosters and any stress. She still occasionally lays an egg. Quicksilver is a black and white, very fast runner and a little high anxiety hen who lays an egg every day. I would like the two to be able to live out the rest of their days in a peaceful fenced yard, together, in a currently non-chicken home, and I will supply a coop. They are accustomed to being released from the coop in the morning and locked up at night. I realize everyone on here probably have chickens but perhaps you have a friend who would like to ease into the chicken life with 2 very low maintenance pet chickens. Thank you for reading.

I will be off-line until Tuesday. Traci

We need to know your location.

I'm sorry, I'm in the North Valley, about 3 miles from downtown.

North Valley... What city and state?

 

[Rafaelsmom]

Oh my gosh, I haven't been on this site in a couple of years, I thought this was local, to Albuquerque, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyway Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Lol I kind of suspected so when you said North Valley. I grew up in the SW Valley. There are some local threads on here but for the most part it is people all over the world.

Okay, so 2 older girls have home, but still need to place rooster and hen. I know its hard to introduce one hen into a flock but she is a pretty intelligent strong-willed hen. Very smart, only hen I've ever had that leaves the yard and visits neighbors, etc. That is a picture of the white rooster on my profile pic. He is much bigger than he looks there.
