4 Free Non egg laying chickens
We have 2 Rhode Island Red and 2 Leghorn chickens. 
We gave farming a try and are done.
They are beautiful and healthy, but are 2 1/2 years old and no longer giving us a single egg.
They are extremely tame and make surprisingly good lap pets-- until they poop.
We'd butcher them if we weren't so squeamish.
Call me if you want them. 

But then I got an email telling me how irresponsible and ignorant I am, so I posted a new ad:
We have 2 Rhode Island Red and 2 Leghorn chickens.
They are 2 1/2 years old and are beautiful and healthy.
They have not laid consistently in the last month but before that we were getting two eggs a day.
We are also selling a coop with feeders, boxes, etc.

Um, ya, flowery wording or not, we're done with the chickens.
They were totally worth it due to how much the kids loved them the first month and with the awesome pictures I got of them lugging them around the yard. But, now that the novelty has worn off, they are a huge nuisance that we have to pay to feed.
Chickens: Been there, done that, don't think we'll do it again... so, maybe I was an ignorant and irresponsible chicken owner!
