4 ~8 month old laying hens for trade/sale!

[McCluckster]

Hello there all!

I have 4 roughly 8 month old laying hens which I got from TSC on April 5th this year. I'm looking to possibly trade these 4 for more oriental breeds like Polish/cochins/Ayam cemanis/Phoenix and more. Only breeds I'm unwilling to accept are Silkies.

I originally got them for egg purposes, but as I now want to get into selling hatching eggs (and not eating them), I'd like to sell/trade the less oriental breeds as they have a tougher time selling egg wise. I also prefer smaller breeds over larger ones, as I find them much more laid back.

Information about the hens:
I have 3 Red Sexlinks and 1 Leghorn hen. I'd prefer giving them as a group, since they've been together their entire life. I will only go down to 2 - I will not trade/sell a single bird. They've been laying for roughly 1/2 months now, and lay an egg every day. If pictures of the eggs are requested, I will be happy to show you. None of them have physical injuries, or look/act unhealthy. (Pictures will be provided)

Trade wants/price:
I'm looking to sell them for anywhere within the range of 5-10 dollars per bird. This would be 40 dollars for the 4, and if bought in 2 groups, then 20 per group of 2 birds.
As for trading, I love hatching eggs and chicks, but would much more appreciate full grown ready to lay or soon to lay birds. If hatching eggs are offered and I do accept them, please give me a days time to prepare the incubator. Anywhere from 2-3 dozen hatching eggs, 4 chicks(or more if offered), or 4 juvenile and older birds would be more than fine. I'm always appreciative to talk, and if you'd like to offer you can reach me on this profile.

I will not accept text messages that are not about the birds, and a final price/offer can be negotiated. I'm in the New Meixco area, and willing to travel to El paso/Alamogordo/Las cruces to give the birds.

If you have any questions/would like to ask or offer, please leave a comment on this post, my profile.

Thank you for looking, and have a wonderful evening!

I would most certainly purchase those chickens outright, at the price you are asking. The obvious problem with me,,,, I'm about 1,500 miles distance from you. Those production hens would serve me just right.
I keep chickens as pets, and currently have Bantams, and one LF. Not much egg production around here now. I don't eat my chickens,,, but do eat the eggs. My chickens live into Geriatric years, even when they stop laying. Recently one 11 year old went across The Rainbow Bridge. waiting for me
Your 4 hens will produce/lay eggs thru the winter most likely. At least thru this first winter.
Consider posting your offer on your STATE THREAD.
There you target peeps in your area nearby.

Thank you for the wishes!

Super sad to hear you're so far away - but thank you for reaching out and responding! I've never had chickens live to 11 years; but I'm hoping since this is only my second time having them that I can help them reach that age. Sounds like yours had a good life and definitely had a lot of help from you!

There's nothing like farm fresh eggs in the morning. These 4 lay so many that sometimes you gotta get creative! I absolutely love chickens and want to make it a hobby, especially since their such good pets when taken care of and handled.

Again, thank you for reaching out, and helping me find a better place to post this! I wish you luck on finding some good laying hens to make you lots of eggs!
Have a good evening, thank you.
