I am moving from Westport, CT to Manhattan and I need to find a home/homes for my three silkies (two hens, one rooster) and four other hens and one very, very sweet rooster (who is actually afraid of the tiny silkie male, but takes great care of the girls and is a gentleman in all ways.) The other hens are: 2 Americaunas, 1 Black Copper Maran, 1 Easter Egger, 1 Blue Favaucana, and the rooster is a Salmon Favorelle. All birds are 10-12 months old and and I get four to seven eggs per day - blues, one chocolate brown and one or two smaller cream colored silkie eggs.
They have been raised on all organic feed supplemented with probiotics, brewer's yeast, kelp, garlic, and herbs with daily feedings of organic kale and other fresh vegetables. I have always added oregano oil and apple cider vinegar to their water. They free range during the day over two acres and sleep in a coop together at night. They are healthy and happy chickens, and I want them to go to a person that will care for them in a similar fashion in a similar environment so they continue to be so.
I would split them up as follows: the three silkies, the five hens with or without the rooster, and the rooster could go separately, only if necessary. Of course, if someone wants all of them, I'm sure they'd be happy to stay together.
