Here are some pics of our six chickens from yesterdays Lancashire BHWT rescue. We've got 5 in various stages of floppy combs and baldness and one who nearly looks like a normal chicken. Unfortunately it's not been good weather today so they haven't all been out into the run but it's been lovely to watch them stretching their wings and preening themselves. Oh, and they all laid an egg today as well. We've also all been checking on them throughout the day as well and checking before we've got 3 crammed into one nestbox for the night - lol

They're lovely and they look pretty well feathered too, bless them . Won't be long before they're hale and hearty with a bit of TLC. Well done to you for giving them some freedom at last .

What lucky girls to have a nice loving home with you. Good on you!

[Laura & CTB]

Sounds like they're settling in well - lovely photos.

Good for you in rescuing them and they're very lucky girls to have found a real home!

Congratulations....they look lovely girls.

 

They are very much in the same condition as mine.

 

You will get such pleasure watching them begin to enjoy life and explore their new environment.

Thanks everyone

Edna had been put in the run for 10 minutes to stop her attacking the smallest one (so it could get something to eat and drink) and she wanted to get back in so wasn't happy. I think she looks like she's trying to work out how she can get back in.

Good for you! Loved all the pics, but of course the hen using her tiny but mighty brain is special!

I still have one ex bat (+ 3 friends from omlet) Saffy arrived in Jan & now has all her feathers and is laying again, it is great to see her so well & happy, good for you for giving your girls a lovely home it is so rewarding to see them recover & do proper chicken things

Hiya !

They are gorgeous, you'll have so much fun with them. Your hen house looks VERY posh- is it stained inside as well ? very nice , needs a bit of chicken poo on it to scruff it up a bit, sure the girls will oblige

Ali, yes it's stained inside as well - now you know why I was moaning about all the timber treating I was doing-lol. They've already started to scruff it up with the poo - didn't look pristine for long!

 

They've all been out in the run today and have discovered grass, plants and scratching for bugs You wouldn't think that they were in cages on Saturday.
