Hello BYC community.
My husband & I have been long time readers of the BYC forums and have relied on it ever since we started raising bantam silkies and bantam barred plymouth rock pullets for eggs. I'm grateful for all that we've learned because of you. There were so many forums that helped us take better care of our girls.
We now need to re-home two, nine year old, silkie hens as they are the last two from our original flock we started in 2009. We moved to central Massachusetts in 2016 to a location that does not allow back yard chickens so they have been our indoor pet birds.
My work position is requiring more and more travel every year. (My husband travels with me) So long as we are back in 3 days, they have been ok on their own but we don't feel good about it nor are we always able to make it back in less time. We've hired pet sitters but I know our ladies aren't getting the socialization they need. We also worry about when one of them passes away. We hate the thought of one of them being alone when we have to travel. We know they would probably be living a happier life with another bantam flock but we worry about them being picked on at such an old age.
If you know anyone with a bantam flock who would adopt our two seniors or if you know someone who is willing to care for these two ladies indoors, please let us know. Thank you.

and I sincerely hope that you find a good home for both of them.
and welcome to BYC!
I hope you find good new homes for them.
