Title: We are re-homing our chickens….
Post by: Pundyburn Lynn on June 18, 2013, 04:52:03 pm

After having chickens for five years we now have to down-size.

We need to re-home around 30 chickens in total (I have lost count, and they won't stand still).  They are Light Sussex (large fowl), and a good dual purpose bird.  We have around:
·         20 hens at 18-months old (still with 2 years good laying left) - £6 per bird
·         6 hens at 6 months old (almost at point of lay)  - £8 per bird
·         4 cockerels at 6 months old

These birds have been used to free-ranging, and are all in good health. 

Price is negotiable.  Please email for further details.  We are based just west of Perth

Happy to separate,


Not surprisingly, the youngest have been allocated and the 18 month olds left on the shelf!  I am happy to rehome any quantity of the 18 month olds...


They are good layers, but unhappy being shut in.
