smanners Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 OMG I was so shocked and saddened to see these poor hens at their point of rescue but then so inspired by their remarkable recovery through the care and devotion given by their rescuers Having a spare I have tonight emailed my local BHWT co-ordinator with the aim of rescuing some hens this weekend I know that there may be some fustrations and tears along the way especially when eventually integrating them with my other 6 chooks but hopefully it will be all worthwhile to give some hens a taste of freedom and life as it should be for them. Here's to my New Year's resolution for 2009!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Aww that photo with her sunbathing before her transformation truly warms the cockles of your heart doesnt it? She looks really super now Rhapsody, what a lucky hen she is to have you. I imagine she's a very special girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy chickens! Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 She looks fantastic, well done! My girls are starting to grow feathers and it's good to know that, hopefully, one day they will look like 'real' hens instead of creatures from Jurassic Park.

chelsea Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I forgot to ask do they have the greenhouse all to themselves? If so that must make a really fab dustbath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 I forgot to ask do they have the greenhouse all to themselves? If so that must make a really fab dustbath! Yes I've let them have it for the winter- always dry and they keep the weeds down for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
