Hello,
It is with great regret that I am posting this message, but we need to re-home our beloved hens. 3 hens are Rhode Island Reds and 1 hen is a Black Maran (1.5 years old). It is due to a combination of family issues and a potential move. All of the hens are laying and healthy, we adopted them when they were 6 months old from a family that lost their home. Their names are MG, Scabby, Shadow and Scaredy Cat. MG and Scabby know their names, the rest are hit or miss. They are used to having about 15 square feet per hen of run space, they share one nest box (though they have access to 3) and eat and drink from automated water and feeder systems that only require 5 minutes of attention 2x a week. Each of them lays an egg 5-6 days out of the week so for a family of 3-4, you would have plenty of eggs.
In addition to the hens, they will come with enough food for a month, extra straw, wood chips, meal worms, etc. You can also take their existing coop and run that I custom built and that they love. We also have a smaller coop they used when they were younger. Only challenge with the coops is that they do need to be disassembled for transportation as they won't currently fit through the fences in my yard. So you'll need a couple of guys, tools and a big truck / trailer plus a full weekend day for the disassembly. We also have vent fans and a mister for them due to the heat waves. You don't need to take the coops / runs / supplies, just an offer though we've invested a lot in the coop and supplies and everything is top notch. The coop has automated battery powered doors that are sensitive to sunrise/sunset. They eat Kelley's layer crumbles which we supplement with oyster shells, meal worms and fresh vegetables from our garden.
All of this is free, but you will have to demonstrate to me that you want to keep the chickens as pets (of course understanding that you would want to eat the eggs), that they will have a safe space to stay and that they will be allowed to live out their lives (not euthanized early if they stop laying). We are located in Sherman Oaks Van Nuys and you will need a pet crate to transport them. Please PM me with your phone number and I will call you to discuss.
