Marilyn's looking for a home (North East)

[LisaB]

As some of you know I've had a lot of trouble recently with her attacking me and my other girls, and her constant shouting.

She's not attacked me for a few days now but fights are still going on within the flock, as well as this she shouts every time I go in the garden which makes me not even want to go see my girls.

Is there any chance at all there is anyone out there with an allotment with a cockerel or two that could put her in her place?

I would be able drop her off within an hours drive of Middlesbrough.

Thank you :(

Aww Lisa what a shame - really wish I was able to offer her a home but I already have a very shouty bully and I think it would be a recipe for disaster! I will keep ask around & see if anyone I know can offer her a home. Good luck

[LisaB]

Aww thanks so much
If it doesn't work out I can always take her back too and look for another home, just so no one feels they will be stuck with her if it doesn't go as planned.

Sorry I can't help, I just dont have the space Lisa but good luck in finding her a suitable home

[LisaB]

Thanks Julie

I thought I should add that she's a young hen, around 40 weeks I think and lays 5-6 eggs a week. We're not sure what breed she is, were told a Suffolk cross whatever that means, but here's a picture of her

Oh she is a beauty ! what a shame she has to go .

[LisaB]

Oh she is a beauty ! what a shame she has to go .

I know she's a lovely looking girl but with the noise she makes isn't ideal where I live. She's also a bit too big for my little batties :(

[LisaB]

I thought we were over the pecking me, but no, she had it out for me this morning and drew blood.


What am I going to do if I cant find a home for her? She really can't stay here, she's not stopped shouting all morning and I've not even been outside apart from letting them out this morning

She's also bullying my batties again, especially Ivy

[Annie]

Lisa is there a batty rehoming day near you any time soon ? I ask because the Homes4hens people rehomed my two wee boys for me, I would think any chicken rehoming organisation would be willing to help.
Have you tried Preloved - the advice though is not to offer free to good home as they can be taken by the wrong folk to be used for the wrong reasons - especially if they know she is a hen that has a bit of attitude.

[LisaB]

Ohh, I didnt think of checking with battie rehomings! Thank you Annie!

I'm a bit apprehensive about using preloved for that reason, I don't want anything bad to happen to her :(
