Chicken of Fate !!!!!!!!!!

Recommended Posts

I have a chicken of fate! We went to my old school friend's house for the weekend and he has just starting keeping hens. Sadly one of the hens was being picked on constantly and he has tried everything but with no hope. He offered her to me and I couldn't say no! So meet Hope.....

She is a lovely, reasonably tame hen of an unknown breed. She lays lovely creamy white eggs and although very wary of other hens, seems to be settling in with my others. They seem to have accepted her immediatly. She lived in the 'old hen pen' for a few days until I free-ranged them alltogether in the back paddock and they all went to bed together! they have been free-ranging ever since.

 

Oh and here are a few pics of my wife's ex-batts that she rescued back in march. They are all very happy now and living in a large shed in the top paddock with the geese and daisy and buttercup (kids chose the names) the cows! Enjoy the pictures!

Oh! Lovely hens!

So glad yours accepted Hope, some hens seem to have self-esteem issues and just get bullied wherever they go, but it looks like Hope has taken the opportunity of a new start to restore her confidence. I bet those ex-batts turn out to have a real naughty streak, though!
