Free Laying Chickens: mixed flock, free to good home

NE 60th near Halsey, Portland OR

Description

I have a backyard flock of seven laying hens in need of new homes. I hand raised them all from day old chicks and they have had quite a bit of handling with no health issues and no major problems with bullying. The original flock of five are 1.5 yrs old and are all great medium-large brown egg layers (Breeds: Barred Rock, Buckeye, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Swedish Flower Hen, and a Double- Laced Barnevelder). I supplemented this spring with an additional two Speckled Sussex chicks--they are now about five months old and should begin laying soon. Please reach out with questions/photos/inquiries via email initially (I am not listing my phone number to avoid scammers but will reach out via text if you include your number). For the health of the chickens, I won't rehome individuals--pairs is the minimum, but I would prefer them to be adopted in groups of 3 or 4, particularly if they are joining an existing small/medium flock. The two sussex pullets must go as a pair to the same home. I am willing to deliver if needed and can also include unused/unopened feed/bedding/supplies. I am located in NE Portland.
