Chickens have landed ... again!

Post Sun Aug 01, 2010 6:32 am

Hello, Peeps - I have chickens again! We lost our last batch of ex-batts to a fox attack last June, and after over year, our rescue had a new batch of chickens that needed re-homing. They are ex-barn, not ex-batt, but as far as I can see there isn't much difference in their condition :cry: We have 6.

They are lovely and it's so nice to be back and active in this part of the forum. Also, second-time round I'm more prepared ... I hope.

Okay, off to chicken health section to start posting .... :lol:

Names so far: Jackie O, Suzy Q, Gretel and Daphne. :)
2 hives of bees; Molly&Mabel the springers;
GNR 6 ex-barn: Jackie O, Suzy Q, Daphne, Gretel, Henrietta and Bodie
