buffie Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi I'll post this in the sticky but just heard that all 1700 hens are being rescued this saturday. It's now a very early start for me and the team but who cares as this is the best news. Thanks and see you there, Clare, Mel, KateA and Omlet!

Mrs Frugal Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Good luck everyone. Hope all those hens find nice new homes and lots of love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Good luck. Having read the article in the June Practical Poultry, it is truly inspiring. If I did not already have a full house I would have loved to adopt a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Well done on finding all of the homes needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 I wish I'd had something to do with it Martin but I wonder where they are going? Well we all know where some of them are going but I think some people have been booking 50's which means the numbers shoot up. 50,, 3 or 4 it's all wonderful.

Martin B Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yer it is! Why doesn't Jimmy Doherty get some more for his farm. Did he know about the rescue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted May 15, 2006 Author Share Posted May 15, 2006 He has enough Martin and he does a great job raising the profile. It's the outcome of people changing their shopping habits that's most important, it means no more battery farming and the rescued hens are a bonus!

Cinnamon Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 "Jimmys Farm" has certainly made people more aware of the plight of Battery hens. People really seem to care about where their eggs come from now - which is great If there were some sort of docu show about rescuing the hens which went into more detail about the terrible lives they lead,that would help even more. There are always these expose programmes on - why not on battery hens (unless I have missed it already ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Sorry to digress and excusing the pun but that kind of programme might "ruffle too many feathers" It'll only be because it'll scare the industry seeing as so many products use battery eggs - and frightening the industry exactly what we do want to happen. I don't think many channels would go near it How about we lobby the BBC to do something as it's licence payers money? As for the rescue - Good Luck when we have a bit more space and room we intend to house at least two (maybe more depending on how much land we get with a new place) A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
