I find myself unfortunately in need of help finding a home for my flock of chickens. I'm moving from a small rural farm to a house in the city, and the arrangements I had previously made for the birds have fallen though.

The chickens are in the US in Virginia, and so I'm looking for anyone in any nearby state (including West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Delaware, or even Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky) who could take them in. Basically anywhere I can reasonably drive them.

There are nine hens and a rooster, and they are all 8-11 years old, well past prime laying age. They need a place where they can live out their lives in safety and comfort. One of the hens is blind but has been blind for many years now and is fine as long as she has a roost bar to perch on with nearby food and water.

I am absolutely willing to pay for their feed and care, and I could even pay for and/or personally construct a coop/run for them to live in.

I've tried contacting nearby rescue organizations but the only one who is even accepting chickens has room for just a few of the hens. If you can help please email me at: chicken (at) npgr.com

(Boosts appreciated)
