dancing cloud Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hello from me and mine. Nearly 113,000 rescued now - I contributed 6 to that total, and the hen having a nap in the latest BHWT newletter is my little Dandelion (named by my niece) The photo was taken after she'd been out of her cage for only 6 weeks and she's now a lot less fluffy and more like a proper feathered hen. My niece has just started secondary school, where they are still establishing their own pecking order, and she's very proud of "her" hen, the BHWT pin-up! Ex-batts - we love 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
