We have 7 chickens available if anyone needs a starter flock.
The reason: we are removing the hens (1 to 3 yrs) to get our own flock to 25 and of breeds we want to work with.
These seven will at least double, probably triple, their number by September, with clean water to drink, a roost in shelter from heavy rain and wind and a safe place to range, plus the occasional coconut, banana, taro root, etc to keep them close to home.
Available:
one rooster (Plymouth Barred Rock)
six hens (one Blue Orpington, one BO cross, and four other
RI-Red/Plym. White Rock /jungle-fowl cross); laying eggs now.
Price: Whatever you can spare, other than $, that you think would be a fair trade and useful for us. Or, 2 hours pulling weeds.
