The chickens gotta go

[Haywire]

I'm moving in a month or so and the chickens gotta go. There's a 40 y/o one page restriction list that mentions no fowl. No veggie gardens in the front yard either (not a problem lol).

Found a home for the coop and the chickens, but maybe I can reclaim a couple of them once I get to know the neighbors. I went a little overboard on the numbers and was producing 3-4 times the eggs we need anyway. 7 hens and 1 rooster make 2-3 dozen a week or thereabouts and not all the hens are laying yet. I think no rooster and 2-3 laying hens might be just right.

maybe a few little dutch bantys or d' uccles? my d' uccle laid two days in a row and then took a day of.

Just for thought...have family of 4 and 4 BO hens. They lay plenty of eggs for our family. Only time I ran short was during their molt this late fall and then only needed to purchase about 6 eggs since I was still getting average of 1 a day.

I'm sorry Ian. I hope that you can keep a few, and find good homes for the rest.

See I would get in trouble for the chickens and the front yard garden. Gosh, I can't stand these restrictions.Best wishes!

Could you keep *pet* hens? I had 1-2 in the house at times to recover over issues,and they were laying eggs and being their usual pecking,scratching,and bawking selves. I actually missed them when they were put outside again.
