LottyJ1 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Here are some photos from the BHWT rescue on Saturday in Monmouth. We re homed 156 barn kept Hubbard hens. Never seen a Hubbard before and their bendy toes are very strange but quite cute how they grip on to you Very friendly too bless them so I would recommend them as a rescue hen to keep. I hope they enjoyed their first day of freedom yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Wonderful I'm sure they'll get some loving homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christyrose12 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Well done!! I picked up 31 hens from my local coordinator in Camelford, Cornwall a week ago. I get orders from people that are interested in homing some and then go and pick them up. This is the second time I've done it. The first time I picked up 59!! It is so lovely seeing them go off to lovely new homes isnt it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LottyJ1 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 It really is very rewarding and I love being a part of it. I have never heard of a Hubbard before but they are apparently used for both meat and eggs and they do lay huge eggs as we had 20 in the crates they arrived in. They were really very sweet hens so will make good pets and there were lots of families who came to collect so that was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
