I was contacted by a person, who hearing I had chickens wants to get rid of his flock. I went and looked at them. THeir are 10 Barred Rock hens and one rooster. There outward appearance is good. They are about 18 months old. He said they were laying up till winter came. He does not feed them layer or add any lighting. I can get the 11 chickens and a small 4x6 foot coop that is basic. Hinged roof. no roost, door out to run . not insulated, pine siding. And the run which is 12 foot long by 8 foot wide, 3 foot tall, 1 inch x 1 inch hardwire cloth on its sides and top. The run is not bad, coop a little small and needs a door added towards run, roost installed, 2 foot of height added. I have most of the lumber to redo coop. Just wrong time of year.
He wants $50 for the 11 birds, coop and fenced run. What do you guys think? I would house this flock completely seperated from my exisitng birds. I need to expand in the spring regardless of taking him up on his offer or not.
Good deal or disaster?
