Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

I have an Americauna pullet that needs a new home.  She was badly beaten up by a much larger bully cockerel (her brother).  I simply wasn't paying enough attention to what was going on in my chicken pen, and she paid the price for my carelessness with a nasty head wound. :(  It has now largely healed, but she will have a scar and may not grow feathers back in that area.  Otherwise, normal chicken; eating, drinking, preening normally, no signs of illness.  I'd like her to go to a backyard coop, preferably someone just starting out with new pullets so she wouldn't be encroaching on anyone's territory.  She was a bright, curious little girl before this trauma, now she's a bit of a scaredy cat. A backyard home would be ideal!  I carry her around regularly, mostly while apologizing and giving her tidbits.  I'd keep her myself, but can't integrate her with my adult flock, they'd rip her to shreds.  Located Maple Ridge! Message or email me at horsedrawnfarms@shaw.ca if you're interested.

 

PS.  Stuck ad here as well as in free stuff, hope no one minds.

HI there, I would love to take your americauna pullet . I have been looking for one or two more hens to add to my backyard flock , she would be placed with one 11 week old polish pullet who lives alone  in a fenced off portion of run/ henhouse , along with 3 older hens . The hen house is a roomy 30 sq . feet   with a 30 square foot covered run and additional aprox.30 square foot fenced off run all divided so the younger and older hens can see each other but not get to each other . The only problem is , is that I don't have a car , but I am willing to pay a delivery fee , let me know what you think . Thanks for your time , Jacquie
