5 Silkie hens in need of a new and loving home

[DashedDreams]

I'm posting again because while I did get a lot of support and suggestions, unfortunately I've had no takers on my girls!

I really need to rehome them as soon as possible. I'm right outside of Philadelphia and am willing to drive up to 3 hours, I just want a good home for them! I wish I could have kept them but the rats have gotten too much for me to handle and I just cannot keep up anymore. I have tried everything to get rid of them and the damages that they're causing my coop is astronomical. At this point, it feels like I am paying to feed the rats rather than my girls. I can't do this anymore so it is with a heavy heart that I have to rehome them. There are 4 pure silkies and 1 silkie easter egger (she has a silkie body but regular chicken legs). They lay but not consistently. 2 of them are 3 years old and the others are less than a year (born July 15th). There is 1 white one (easter egger), 1 buff one and 3 black ones. If anyone thinks they can offer them a permanent loving home, please let me know.

I am a former chicken owner, but haven't had any fancy chickens like yours yet. It would be a blessing. I am in Barstow, CA

OP is in Philadelphia.

You clearly are looking for chickens, I suggest you post in the CA thread looking for chickens being rehomed.

I am sorry you're dealing with rats and having to rehome your hens! Just wondering, have you tried putting hardware fabric down across the bottom of your coop/run? Then the rats couldn't dig in.

If you can hold out a month till I get back home (I'm across the country right now) I might be able to take them (if you haven't found a home for them by then). I live near Hagerstown, Maryland.

You also might try posting on Craigslist .
