Hello! I'm Elyn and I'm in NJ up by Philly, I frequent south jersey though as I volunteer at a farm animal rescue! I had a flock of 4 outdoor hens and due to old age/cancer 2 passed away and it's looking like we are going to lose the 3rd soon; I want to find companions for my hen Esther for when her sister passes away! Esther is spunky, confident, but kind and would get along with any personality!
We aren't allowed to have roosters in our town(and we already have a special needs one indoors who does not get along with other roos) so I'm looking for just hens hopefully!
I am VERY open to special needs chickens also as they hold a special place in my heart!
If I was able I would adopt some from the farm I volunteer at but there are no hens that aren't paired with roosters atm unfortunately and I wouldn't want to separate them.
Laying/egg color does not matter I prefer to avoid layer breeds though as they die so young I will take some though if there are any in need of a new home it just breaks my heart when I lose them so early though!
We have a large coop with a 20ft run and we frequently let the chickens roam the yard with supervision(we don't let them by themselves as we have hawks in the area) they get 24/7 access to food, water, calcium and when they are ill we take them to the vet when it's something we can't treat ourselves!
We also have a smaller secondary coop/run to quarantine new birds, help them get used to each other, and protect/house them if they don't get along with the others!
I don't mind if there's a small removing fee either but I'd prefer to adopt some girls who are in need of a new home! Thank you!!!
