Thanks for all the offers Julia - I've now got 3 hens - hooray!  2 light sussex 10 week old pullets and 1 red sex link cross (26 weeks and laying).  I'll start with that, but if you ever happen across any more of those blue andalusians, let me know!  Beautiful birds.

If anyone wants bantams,I can get 2 bantam brahmas on Monday. They are good layers they are a little less than a year old, about 10 months.

Julia,

 

I may be interested in the faverolle depending upon what pans out this weekend.  My only concern is that they are supposed to be very docile & I worry that she might get bullied by more aggressive breeds.  Also, they are quite big birds, right?  My coop is pretty small so am tending toward medium sized birds.

Lorraine -

Hi Lorraine!  I'm a fellow chicken cooper.  You may have seen that Leanne and I (another chickener) are looking for laying hens at the moment.  We have leads on a few in Cloverdale (5 golden comets (hybrid hen - prolific layers of brown eggs, 18-24 months old), and 4 light sussex hens & 1 rooster, all 10 weeks old (laying in 3 months - reliable layers of brown eggs) in Langley.  Together, we only need 5-7 birds, and if we got all of these that would be 9 plus the rooster.  Saw that you are looking for birds too - are you interested in any of these?  We are heading out tomorrow (Saturday) to get some or all of them. Please let us know if you get this message!  You can reach me on my cell at 778-994-7967.

 

Hope you are well,

 

-Kristi

We may have a couple of 1 year old girls available next week.....a salmon faverolle and a buff lace polish. Sorry I've been kinda awol lately. Just have to get one more exam under my belt then I can come up for air!

Hi ladies,  More hens available on Craigslist.  I think Golden Comets are another red sex-link cross.  18-24 week old laying birds.  $5 each:

White Sussex 10 week-old birds - flock of 5 hens & 1 roo - $75 for all:

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/grd/2337604217.html

I'd be up for going in on them with a few people & splitting them up...... I'd take one or two.  Poor Rooster though....

 

Unsexed Americauna chicks - in Hope but the woman would come to the city on Sunday..... I would love one but can't deal with it right now.  Anyone up for raising a few until they are big enough to go in a coop with mature hens?

Me too.  I got my own chick to worry about.  But I wouldn't mind picking up some already laying.

David and I could go out this weekend...maybe I'll email and see how many they have available?  You could join us...

Let me know!

Leanne
