I've done it!!

Recommended Posts

I contacted one of the BHWT co-ordinators today and I'm collecting 3 Ex Batts tomorrow. :lol::lol::lol:

I was so inspired by some of the recovery stories and the before and after photos that I decided to go for it. I've had an empty eglu waiting for spring as I fancied some blue egg layers but felt I would rather give some needy hens the chance of freedom a life that they deserve. I know they'll need lots of TLC for a while and this cold wintery spell will be a challenge but at least 3 more girls will be saved from a worse fate.

I may still get some more anyway in spring when everyone has settled in but don't tell OH :whistle:

Well got them back safely and they are in Eglu in the kitchen! :D ( too cold tonight to go straight outside) :think:

They are a bit ovenready in places but otherwise not too bad.

The first lady we spoke to wasn't too impressed re Eglu and felt they were too small for 3 chooks but as we collected them the next lady told the chooks that they were lucky to be going to such a posh home!

They've eaten their mash and drunk this pm and had a little boiled,mashed cabbage and apple.

They have had a few spats already but are now snuggled up together in bed! :)

I guess tomorrow it's a case of plenty of food/water stations and some distractions :think:

and for me ................a suitably placed chair and lots of chicken watching time :lol:
