buffie Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I thought you'd like to see this lovely story. I had a call from this military prison because they have connections with Jimmy's Farm and I go with the stall. They wanted hens... So now they have some lovely girls living a fab life with them and helping to rehabilitate http://www.army.mod.uk/news/newsroom/2008/march/01_09/military_home_for_ba.htm BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 that's really great Buffie, thank you for sharing. I saw an episode of Jimmy's Farm where they took animals (can't remember of it was pigs or cows now) over to that place. What a great follow up.

Guest Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Jean was telling us about "her boys" as she refers to the soldiers there - she was amazed at how they lifted a crate-full of chickens each without breaking a sweat! - then compared them to the creaking, grunting, puffing volunteers in her Essex Rescue team... (sorry KateA!) She has also homed one of her cockerells there so the soldiers have a cockerell too... any excuse - and jean is back to visit!
