My husband is losing his job here on Oahu before the end of the year and we've decided that we'll be better off relocating to the mainland for better opportunities and more social support. We've lined up a house to live in already but I cannot keep chickens there.
I have two lovely buff orpington hens that I need to rehome before we go. Both are laying eggs fairly regularly. They will be two years old in June 2023. I named them Bunsen and Beaker.
I will drive these two girls anywhere on Oahu if someone wants to take them!!
They don't *like* being handled or picked up but they tolerate it pretty well. They're very sweet gentle girls. Both of them have a clipped wing to prevent them from flying over my fence into my neighbors' yards. They free range all day within my backyard.
Bunsen is just recovering from a recent eye injury (scratched/pecked cornea) and might be blind in that eye, but her appetite is completely back and she's behaving normally again. I've been putting antibiotic eye cream in it but it's pretty much healed up already.
They also both have some amount of mites/lice from the wild zebra doves but I bought some permethrin and plan to dip them before rehoming.
If you can take them I will also bring a bucket of layer feed, a bag of mealworms, a bag of pine chip bedding, some ceramic eggs, and a bucket/nesting box they're trained to use. And the leftover permethrin, leftover antibiotic eye cream, some dewormer, and some wound spray to boot.
They're good egg layers, but if you plan to butcher/eat them someday that is totally fine with me... just don't tell me about it.
Please help me find a home for these lovely ladies... When I got them as chicks I thought we'd be in Hawaii for another ten years.
Thank you for your time!
