Egluntyne Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 They are not very good photos...it was pouring with rain. I will try and take a couple more tomorrow. The girls seem in good health, but their feathers aren't very special. I haven't decided yet which is Ola, or Flavia or Lilia. Here are a couple of pics of the rescue. It was very busy so I didn't hang around. It was lovely to See Pam (Muppet81) and her OH Martin again. Sorry not to have made it to the Victoria Tearooms. I couldn't find it. I drove round and round in ever decreasing circles....even with the Satnav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellekatz Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Bless - lets hope it's not too long before they get their feathers again - its too cold yet for shorts and t shirts Hope all those girls enjoy their new homes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Aww bless them...I applied to the BHWT a while ago for somemore chickens but haven't heard any more. Where was that rescue ? In sheffield? I;ll have to get intouch with them again and see if I can have some more. There weren't any spares were they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Where was that rescue ? In Sheffield? I wish....no I had to schlepp to Haslingden near Blackburn. I would get in touch again. **BHWT** Looking at the map...Adele is the nearest rescue co-ordinator to you too! Edited to correct hideous Typo.

Scooby Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Lovely girlies - ours not in too bad a state either (considering) - will post piccy's soon. Regarding the rescue's - whilst we were picking up our rescue girlies we were told that someone has volunteered to be a co-ordinator in Newcastle - so just waiting to find out when a rescue will take place nearer to us as we will most probably get some more girlies if we can get them closer to home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppet81 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hello Eglutine and Scooby It was nice to see you today. Sorry that things were pretty hectic and we did not get the chance to chat. Eglutine, your ladies look really content. It is so lovely to see. Thanks so much to you and Scooby for travelling so far today and giving those lucky girls an new start.

Scooby Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sorry not to have made it to the Victoria Tearooms. I couldn't find it. I drove round and round in ever decreasing circles....even with the Satnav. We found the Victoria Cafe... eventually! Wondered where you'd got to Pleased that I met Susan (SLK69) there though, we had a cuppa and a chat with her before going to get our girlies. We didn't hang about getting our girlies either, but a lady did spot my Omlet t-shirt there and said her user name was Muppet (guessing that's Pam then), so at least I've said hello even if it was very brief!

moomin Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 They're lovely girlies!! Looking at the group photo they all look fairly be-draggled in the feather department the poor little things. How lucky they are, and the yellow Eglu is GORGEOUS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet81 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) We feel a bit embarrassed about being thanked The main thank you goes to Adele who works so very hard for the BHWT and who organised not just todays rescue but also one on Wednesday. So a huge vote of thanks to Adele, Pauline, Sarah and her Mum and to the other helpers (apologies, I did not get your names) who went with Adele and Sarah to actually collect the girls. Phew! We feel a bit better now Edited March 28, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well, they have put themselves to bed...so that is one hurdle over. They don't seem to have eaten anything, but I can't be absolutely sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
