Hi Storm, did you manage to get anything sorted out?

Thank you, where are you based?
I have found a good loving home for them, a lovely lady, breeds hens and ducks, and will raise them and rehome them, and also give me pics and updates, at least i know they will be looked after well, but i am travelling 100 miles there and 100 back, but its well worth it, to konw they are off to a good home.
Now i need to look for 3 hens, small to medium, as my coop is not made for 3 large hens.
On look out for 3 hens if anyone can help me out?
Thank you
Chris xxx

We are right on the banks of the river Eden, a beautiful setting and my geese and ducks get full use of the river.

Pleased you have sorted something out for your chick and duckling.  I am sure you will find some hens - there is always someone wanting to rehome for one reason or another.  Older hens are a lot easier for a beginner to deal with, and you never know, eventually you may want to rear some chicks sometime.
