Selling hens

[Member 482121]

Thank you all for the info. Now, if she (my neighbor) adds my subadult pullets to her flock, won't her older chickens attack them? I'd hate to sell them into an unhappy and potentially dangerous situation. Yes, I know, they are just chickens, but... And I am an avid hunter--yet I don't like to see animals suffer, especially if the animals are those that I raised from little chicks about as big as my big toe (but much prettier).

It's up to the buyer to manage the integration of new birds into their flock.
When you sell birds, once the new owner has paid for them, it's out of your hands.
Selling birds to your neighbor sounds like it could get complicated.
