FREE TO GOOD HOME - 5 CHICKENS

My wife no longer has the time to care for our 6 hens with the arrival of our first born

so, from the wifes mouth:

They are lovely pets, really good layers and cheap to keep (a large sack of food is £10 and lasts a month plus scraps and nibbles you have left over and then jusy sawdust and hay to clean them out). I am only getting rid of them as they are not coping well with enclosure life and are pecking each other so look a bit bald and scraggy! They are not able to be free range in our garden due to the foxes and rats we have in the area so they need a garden or bigger enclosure space to be able to get away from each others nibbling! They are free to a good home but you will need something to collect them in e.g a large box or 3 cat boxes etc. I also have a large bag of feed to get you going.

we're near Norwich, let me know if you're interested. we just want them to go to a good home where they'll be cared for!

I just bought some! Dammit, but again, I can't see them flying down south by themselves....!

You could try Gumtree and Freecycle to appeal to the local market (not that sort of market!)?

We're just outside of Diss - so not far from you, and have a lovely chicken house waiting for residents.

I'm just outside Diss too.

We probably have space for a couple more hens in our run if they still need rehoming,
