OwenLdn Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hey guys, Would love to help out- but wondering about mixing a Large Fowl with my Bantams. Otherewise really wanted to help. Well done everyone who is offering a home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 How about posting a separate question as I really have NO idea. PLEASE PLEASE BE PATIENT, this is a massive operation with a fantastic response, They are not a huge corporation with only 3 people really heading it. Em had something like 400 messages in her in box & it will start automatically deleting them at 500. Things ARE happening they are going in 3 days next weekend in shifts, Starting before 8am I think the 1st girls arrive back at littlehen about 9 for unloading checking, stretching for the 1st time and they are very hungry & thirsty. Then they get crated up & start the next leg of their journey to being loved & freedom!!!!!! We haVE HAD SOMEONE CANCELL THEIR REQUEST BECAUSE WE HAD NOT EMALED THEM.. The date on LH email? FRIDAY They got theirs already.. I really hope they rescued some exbats but not sure how at such short notice? WE WILL BE GOING IN EVERY WEEKEND as long as we have confirmed requests. Please dont forget the message alert system isn't working and I have to come look for posts! Incase you are wondering MY feet haven't touched the ground, there is soooooo much to organise!!!

ChrisB Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm waiting to hear from Swindon to see it they would like me to transport birds to the South West for people in Devon/Cornwall. The main concern is the welfare of the birds and the length of time they will be travelling. I'll have to wait and see what they say.

sandyhas3chucks Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 A thought fellow omleteers. Anyone got a van or an estate could take 40/50 or as needed from Surrey, do your own little rehome bit down yonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tara Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Im getting 4 lovely ex battery hens on saturday thankyou sandyhas3chucks for helping me and the girls ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 If anybody in the South West wishes to register for birds, but feel it is too far from them to travel to collect, I will be picking birds up for myself and am more than happy to transport back to Taunton for others. If you're interested, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dame egna Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 After having a long chat with hubby, I'm really sorry, and incredibly disappointed but I am going to have to put on hold having any battery hens for a while. I will definitely at some point re-home some but there is just too much happening this month and next month to do it all, and afford it all! I know there is a battery hen rescue in Chumleigh - not far from me, so I will get in touch with them when I am ready to take some girls. Good luck to everybody and I hope you all manage to get your hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyhas3chucks Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Just to keep you all in the loop, there has been a hiccup with the systemie 800 emails stuck and the recipient unable to get at them till WEed eve and you may well not hear until after Wednesday. If you know which is your nearest coordinator you MAY be as well to email them direct with all the same info you put on the main request. Just add a note to that effect, t will help the area coordinator to have an idea of numbers!! Great going every one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
