Only missing one thing....

Some hens!!

 

Everything is ready to go.  My coop looks great and thanks to my brother the girls will have safe and secure run to explore.  I need to get some birds now and the craigslist emails seem to be a dead end.

 

I'm looking for some brown egg layers that are on the quieter side.  I get a lot of rain and it is colder at my place so a hardier bird would be best.  Anyone out there selling some hens right now?  Or know where I can get some?

 

 

thanks,

Hey Meags! I can hook you up! I've just rescued 3 hens and am going to look at 3 more tonight. Shoot me an email with your number. Cheers!

I just need to charge my phone then I'll give you a call. Right now I have 2 leghorn girls, 1 beautiful silver mystery bird that I think is an Orpington, one Red Star and one buff Easter Egger.

That sounds great! I have been looking to get some Easter egg layers and some orpingtons- this sounds just up my alley. Looking forward to hearing from you.
