Snoxy Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Could anyone help please? Sadly due to ill health a friend of mine is looking for a new home/s for her 2 GNRs who are over a year old and her 2 west sussex hens, point of lay since March. They could be rehomed either in pairs or altogether. Thank you. Edited September 11, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thank you for putting me in touch. A lovely lady with a super chicken set up, sad that she can't keep them any longer. I will drop some egg off when I go past. The hens have settled in well. I took all four and wanted and was more than happy to keep all four, but a close friend who got hens at the same time only has two, even though she wanted four. She persuaded her DH and then me to part with two. She has taken on the two GNR's as they are a natural pair and I have the two Sussex. My friends GNR's settled well last night. Mine were separated yesterday by a wire pen I made inside my run as Sybil kept going for them, funny really as she was the one the others picked on the day she came, but when I think about it, it makes sense as she was the bottom of the flock, and now two newcomers, so she is putting them straight, though the newbies are older, I think she is going to tell them to get in line! Last night when I went to check them all, one had managed to escape the temporary pen, and was roosting on the top of the pen, the other still inside as she had laid an egg! I shooed them into the cube and they settled. This morning they had all let themselves pout and there seems to be harmony, apart from a queue for the nesting box! At the risk of speaking too soon, it is a lot easier than I anticipated. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
