Tutti Frutti Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Oh my, those beautiful girls! I want to say poor girls because of their condition (who's the one with the huge comb? ) but... so very, very, very lucky to come home with you! :clap: I remember reading on the BHWT website that every chicken is named Lucky when they are collected. How true is that?! Well done you and congratulations to you and your girls. They'll feather up nicely, given time and love. One of mine took a few weeks, the other has only just finished growing her belly and wing feathers, and her neck feathers are nearly there now (6 months on!)

Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Fanny is the one with a huge comb. They seem to be settling in OK so far, loving munching on the grass and dandelions I grew specially ... Big Bird is having a few issues finding bed, the other 2 have been in bed ages! I may have to get the torch and show her soon methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Congratulations on the rescue. Those poor chickens they must have been so overheated to get such big combs. They are very lucky girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennydavies Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Oh my My heart sank when I saw those photo's how can the industry allow things like this to happen ? don't they ever have inspectors at these farms ? All you folks that rehome these poor, poor girlies are true angels in my reckoning It's so wonderful for them to have a beautiful "Forever Home" and a caring chicken mummy. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
