My little monsters arrived on 24th May, so today is our 6-month henniversary and I couldn't resist sharing with you all how well they are doing. The first photo of each is how they were when they arrived , the second gives you an idea of their individual little characters as they are now (some play to the camera more than others ).

 

Clover

 

 

Chance

 

 

Daisy

 

 

Dandelion

 

 

Hope

 

 

Joy

 

 

There's still a lot of feathers to go, particularly for Daisy and Joy who both have bare tummies and not much by way of knickers, and only you fellow Omleteers will understand that I am so proud of how far they have come in the last six months that I could burst . From scrawny oven-readies to happy cheeky chooks - I love'em!

 

Here's to many more months of little-monsterdom and a huge thanks to BHWT for all their great work in rescuing these and lots of other lucky little girls for very lucky hen-humans like me

This is very inspirational, the more I see ex-batts the more I would like to home some, just need a bigger house & garden though as my 7 girls take up all our available space at the mo.

[chelsea]

beautiful pics, what lovely condition they are in.

 

You've done really well.

 

As for the posing....look at Daisy - her bottom photo is a textbook "catalogue" pose!!

[SAB]

Thanks for these - brought a tear to the eye and a smile to the heart!

[cluckbok]

Wow, that brought a tear to my eye, but what a great bunch of girls they have come on to be. You have every right to show them off and be proud .

[welsh sarah]

what fantastic transformations, not only the feather growth but they looked depressed in the early photos and now they have that glint in their eyes like real chickens

 

well done you

Brilliant Dancing cloud, got lump in throat & wet eyes. no excuse for giving this petition another push. http://www.chickenout.tv/index.html

Thank you so much for all your kind comments. Never having had hens before, I've nothing to compare them with, but they do seem to be doing very well. I've passed all your compliments on to the ladies and their heads are now so big they can barely fit in the Cube

 

They really are very addicitive and, as per my post earlier today, I been and gone and put my name down for another three from BHWT early next year. In this area they still have large waiting lists and it's good to know there's still such a demand for ex-batts, and that every healthy rescued hen is guaranteed a home

 

(I whispered about three more girls to Daisy top-hen when she sat on my knee this morning and she had no objections to bossing three more around, but I haven't dared tell Tubby Puddy yet ... )
