3.6m Omlet Chicken Run for sale, Brand New in Boxes, Milton Keynes (MK19)

[dancing cloud]

As promised, here are pics of yesterday's new arrivals.

 

Lady - so fully feathered you'd never believe she only came out yesterday

 

Lola with no tail

 

Lucy the killer chicken - attacks everything including me

 

Rhiannon who's never stopped singing since she arrived (hoping that's not going to last!)

 

Rose - the most naked and not enjoying the cold

 

Roxanne whose all-out war with Lady seems to have reached a temporary truce

 

Two lovely things to share about the rescue yesterday . Firstly the financial generosity of the adopters - I was put in charge of the begging bowl (my name for it - probably not official ) and, despite everyone tightening their belts, there were a lot of £20 notes in it. Secondly the generosity of the adopters in providing homes. A short-notice rescue of 50 resulted in 82 lucky hens being brought out and, between 10 or so adopters, all of the extra 32 immediately found homes as almost everyone was able and willing to squeeze in a spare girl or two (or three in my case and several others). Thanks to BHWT for the rescue and to everyone who contributed so much to giving these hens a home - you were inspiring!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy DaNcInG CloUd!

 

Lovely photos of your girls, it's interesting to see how some are almost fully feathered and some are in a much more sorry state. You wouldn't believe they have all come from the same place. I hope they settle in quickly and start growing their beautiful new feathers soon.

I have one that looks just like Rose. I just wanna give her cuddles and keep her warm - but then I get ' would you just get off me look' when I do!

They look lovely - not too battered at all. Congratulations!

It may be a gloomy cold night but those girls bring the sun out. Good luck with their feathering and blooming...even the killer one!

They all look like real characters. Fantastic story, and I'm so glad that Roxanne has called a temporary truce.
