Your nearest Rescue centre would be Adele at Haslingden.

 

You will find details **here**. I am collecting some ex-batts from her on 29th March. I have no idea if they are all spoken for.

OHHHHH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!! How do I contain my excitement and wait to hear back from Adele???

 

Thanks for your responses. I emailed Sarah and Adele and spoke to Sarah just now. The 29th March is all booked up....... huge disapointment.......... :cry: BUT they have squeezed in an extra rescue SATURDAY WEEK!!!! :D That would be so perfect as I then have the next two weeks off work and would be able to check they are okay and settle them in nicely. BUT Sarah wasn't sure whether or not that rescue was all booked up.... :? I have to WAIT to hear back from her.

 

I cant believe how excited I am. I SOOOO hope we can get some girls Saturday week. AND Haslingden is only 21 miles from where I live. PERFECT.

 

Thank you all for your help. Omlet is so cool!

Now I have to wait.............

Maybe / Maybe not!!! Thats the hard bit, waiting for Adele to phone me back to see if there are any ladies still looking for homes on that date, or whether they are all already spoken for. I DO so hope I can get them soon.

I'm going to get some spice to help build them up. And i've ordered a rubber egg from Ebay to help show them where's a nice place to lay an egg! If I cant have them Saturday week, it will probably be April :( It'll be tough waiting till then.

Sad news..... I've spoken to Adele and all the rescue girls Saturday week and the next rescue are spoken for. I will have to wait until April. I know its not that far away, but I'm so disapointed. I wish I could have them sooner.

I guess the important thing is that Adele told me she is rehoming 900 hens this month! How fantastic is that for the girls eh?

 

I guess I can wait :(
