Demon chickens - $20 (Central tucson)
I have raised dozens of chickens in the city, but for some reason, these six chickens that I bought from a hatchery online have been nothing but horrible. They are one year old, they've just recently started laying. There are two buff orps, one partridge rock, one Rhode Island, and two gold laced Wyandottes.
Around the time they started laying they also started pecking each other. They killed one of their coop mates, so I had to separate one of them out, so it lives in a penalty box alone. Then one of them went broody and its all pale and ridiculous cause it won't leave the **** nest box. The rest of them eat their own feathers even though they are in a protein supplement and are in a coop big enough for ten chickens and there are only five of them in there. Seriously devil chickens. But I'm too big of a wuss to kill them and eat them. And I don't have the time or the patience to figure out why they are the way they are and give them the therapy they so clearly need.
So you take em. If you wanna eat em, go for it. They are all just starting to lay so if you can reform them, you have six good layers. (The five who eat their feathers and the one that lives in the penalty box alone). Either way they are taking up prime coop space and need to move along. $20 firm for all six.
