I am at my wits end as have three chickens all around three year old which have stopped laying, my options are to keep feeding non - productive chickens or hopefully someone will take them of me who has plenty of space to keep them happy and retired. I have tried to give them back to the guy I bought them of but he has stated he will kill them which is not my preferred option.
So anyone who thinks they can take Doris (white star) Brenda ( red star ) Betty (speckled)
Aww I am sorry you feel you cannot keep them now they have stopped laying, but understand, is there a petting farm or similar nearlby who may take them, someone hopefully with room will help you, maybe put a post card in your local shop? trouble is some may see them as I really hope you can find them a happy retirement home
It's possible they may start laying again, a lot of hens carry on beyond 3, maybe they're about to moult. After 3 years of laying they deserve to slow down a bit!
"He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." --Immanuel Kant
I am not going to start picking on anyone who decides to cull rather than feed and house hens that don't lay. But I'm not sure that you are realistic in wanting to pass your problem onto someone else.
