TAJ Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Lynne who also came on Saturday gets hers tomorrow from Omlet - now have you got your chair to warch them and the camera sorted? - and no spending too much time with the chickens that you do not report have time to report back to us on progress as well!

I loved her phone ringtone (chicken noise for anyone else reading this)....really must get one myself!! Hope she posts some pics of her chickens this week. I have my video camera all ready and charged up and batteries in my digital camera so i can chart their progress, i will be driving you all mad on here telling you how they are getting on every 5 minutes!!

The Dogmother Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Sorry to mug your thread slightly, but there's planned to be a MASSIVE rescue by Ian and Molly in Coventry in mid-June. The lovely farmer they rescue from is converting all his battery sheds to barns (Wooo Hoo) and they will have 2,000 birds coming out over about a week and two weekends. We're helping out if we can. Do get in touch with him on ian.farrar@bhwt.org.uk if you want to adopt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mummy_hen* Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi Claret - don't mind at all, especially as it is such great news, i bet that's even more rewarding for them than seeing the girls get re-homed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is - he's a good chap and has one barn already; the birds in there look far happier and content. the next step is to get them freeranging.
