Bought a pre-fab coop for 4 online, waiting for it to arrive and will make some minor alterations to give some more range room in the run section of it. Now, the hard part of finding where to buy young adult chickens...narrowed down to Buff Orp and Australorp. I'm gonna start with four hens and see how we do. Any ideas where I can get them? Lots of online eggs and chicks but I don't have the time home to raise them...I need them close to or at laying age. Near Hacienda Heights (CA) would be great, but probably gonna have to go out towards Norco or Chino?
You can try Wes's Pets & Feed i El Monte 626-442-0781 4424 N. Peck Rd. [closed on Mondays] Faz always has an ecclectic assortment of chickens..OR yes you have to go to Norco after that.
But Norco is just a hop/skip/jump from Hacienda Heights....takes about 35mins...there is a post on CL for laying hens for sale $15, saw it this AM...LOL I have one RIR that is available too. Drop me a line if you might like Moa. I rescued her and she is in great health now and laying a giganormous egg 6 days a week. I have seramas [mini chickens] she kinda is 10 times their size, but is gentle with them. LOL
