I had to rehome my 2 aggressive hens that were cruel to my sweet Buffed Brahma. But that was the ONLY time, except for the extra cockerels. I am very attached to my flock. Each chicken has its own name and personality. They are a part of our family. No way José would I give them away!
 
My answer is going to have to be “it depends”. Sometimes situations happen where I may need to rehome someone.

We gave the mean cockerel away.

Honestly, for me to rehome a hen it would have to be what is best for her or the rest of our flock as a whole. If one was being picked on to the point of death, I would certainly find her a home where she could lead a happy life before letting her suffer every day. Or if I had an extreme bully that couldn’t be persuaded to be nice no matter how much training.

Aside from that I can’t see myself parting with any of our girls. They are my little buddies :) Every time I go out and walk around when they are free ranging they follow me in a little chicken train. Gotta love having company doing chores!
