abwsco Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Thanks everyone super photos - I love the bottom one! 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Road Girl Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Good for you! Loved all the pics, but of course the hen using her tiny but mighty brain is special! (You might want to use an easier name in the forum--abwsco may mean something to you but it's dern hard for us to use!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
