Title: 2 x Hens Free to good home and a Pink Eglu for Sale £150 (Fife)
Post by: Townie on November 16, 2011, 09:07:22 pm

Hi everyone...

It's been a long time since i've been a visitor to the forum... been up to my eyes and ears with crafting stuff... and the reason for my visit is to rehome my chickens..

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post today....,  I have get rid of my chickens and sell my Eglu.   I live in a residential area and have a rat problem :(  I have the pest control guy coming out tomorrow.

The problem is not the chickens, it's my rabbits the rats are trying to get :(  But I have neighbours close by, and unfortunately the livestock has to go.

I have kept chickens for the last 6 years and loved every minute, and I will miss them dearly

my little pekin partridge bantam called brenda, she is 4 and my other hen is about 8ish and a cross, she looks like a  bit like a welsummer (but isnt).

Now ...

The hens are free to good home and go with the Eglu, but if someone just wants the hens thats fine.

The Eglu is £150.00 .. it comes complete with extra long run, glug and grub handing feeders and also a rain/sun shade that covers the whole run.   I also have a container with spare clips and pins for it

Please contact me if you are interested... Many thanks for taking time to read my post

I'd take the lot but I can't afford the eglu and without another coop I reckon mine would be too crowded and give your girls a hard time.

Hope you find homes for them or if anyone has a spare shed/coop/eglu they don't want do let me know ;)

Hi Rosemary...

The hens are still in the eglu.. and it's not going to its new home until my hens are re-homed.

I'm just waiting for Cameron to pm me back to see if he still wants them.

i could take them for you, there is room in my henhouse for another couple, and hey would be free range here, but there is the distance to consider.

Hi. Sarah,

I am working mozambique just now, 40 + degrees over here just now not like Scotland, we have 2 coops and a nice run for the chickens in Arbroath Angus and at present only 3 chickens so although we can't take your eglu we could take your chickens and they will be well looked after by my wife and young granddaughters.

You can give her a call on 07725982711and just say John Alias scottshsmokie contacted you.

If you have re-homed the chickens no problem and have a merry Xmas and Happy New year from Mozambique
