koo2cat Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 HI everyone, Hetty, my naughty pecking hen, has this morning been re-homed at the Heronfield Centre Animal Rescue Centre. I put her in the cat carry case and she looked really beautiful. I felt very sad but in my heart of hearts I know it is the right thing to do. As soon as I let her free with all the other hens and cockerels she stood up to a big cockerel straight away by jumping on his back!! The other chickens didn't even seem to notice her! So on that basis I think she will be okay! I told them to call me if there were any problems as I would rather have her back than have her suffer in any way. At least the children and I can visit her regularly there. It is strange looking at the run at home now without her. Despite her bullying, I really loved her but I think she needs to be with a bigger flock and a cockerel. I hope this puts an end to all the pecking and the other hens grow their feathers back! Thank you all for your kind words and advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
