Wanted: Laying Hens in Hudson Valley New York

[jzervas92]

I live in Hudson Valley New York and I'm looking to buy only a few laying hens. I currently have 17 pullets that are 9 weeks old, but I have a adult rooster with no hens of age for him. I'm looking for anything that is between 5 months old and a year. I would prefer breeds that lay blue to green eggs such as the ameraucana, but I'm also interested in salmon faverolles, russian orloffs, welsummers, and speckled sussexs.

What kind of rooster do you have?

He is a Rhode Island Red, not sure of his age I rescued him from an animal horder

Near Cooperstown NY there are 9 hens and a rooster for free, all Golden Comets. You prob don't want another rooster? It seems a young guy renting/caretaking for a house got them, now has left and the house owner is back and doesn't like chickens. I am checking on the age. I believe they aren't more than a year old.
