theherd123 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yes Jen the feathers do grow back eventually sometimes quicker in some chickens than others. Ive got my fingers crossed my girls feathers will grow back quickly. Martin, I will give her lots of cuddles dont you worry! Both girls are happily trotting about in the hen hotel and im hoping they will sleep well tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Well done Emma! I think you're realy wonderful to rehome so many ex-battery girls. They are so lucky to have you. I hope Fizzer and Fudge settle in really well and quickly. Are all the others in the cube together now? And have you got your own cube yet?

Snowy Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Congratulations on your new girls Emma - they look lovely. Poor Fizzer looks a bit like a naked neck at the moment doesn't she? Hopefully with all your wonderful TLC she will be fully feathered very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 You are a saint, Emma. I have sent your name forward to Rome for a canonisation! Poor things, but you will work your magic on them. From the photos Fizzer looks in worse physical shape, but has a more cheerful look than Fudge. Good luck with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 You are a saint, Emma. I have sent your name forward to Rome for a canonisation! I thought you had to be dead for that to happen! Im very worried now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
