Choo-chook Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just a wee shout out to all the scottish omleteers that there is a BHWT rehoming day at St. Andrews, fife this Saturday, 1st of February. Contact detail are on either the facebook page or http://www.bhwt.org.uk/cms/contact-us/ I'm full to bursting now or I'd definitely have a couple. Sounds terrible but I'm counting down the years till youngest is off to uni and we move out of town to somewhere with a HUGE garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hi, I know about this rehoming and had decided not to have any more since it is sooooooooooooo cold and wet. Can you imagine leaving a sauna and going to live in a wet freezer However as my lovely Hazie says, if they are coming out anyway, why should we not have them I am happy to be talked into it as I potentially have the room. What do others think Axx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsunset Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Sparkysmum yes!, please take some! If you have a little extra room for a poor few wee forlorn chooks who may otherwise be turned into pet food? Never mind the mud, we all have it. (Well lots of us) They will LOVE your freezing wet conditions........tis freedoooommm? I would if I were closer and take huge delight in introducing them to my mud...for now, just to see their wee faces outdoors..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 What do others think Axx Oh if you have the room take them, take them take them....I am going to purchase a classic to go in my enclosure and going to get a few more girls when the need arises. I volunteer with the BHWT on rehoming days so I am going to take some chickens of fate.....ones that maybe can't be rehomed or whose re homers don't turn up....I have convinced myself if it happens, it is meant to be Just seeing the sheer numbers of them is overwhelming so if you are considering it then please go for it....and just think spring is only a hop and a skip away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillyJude Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Don't be put off by the weather, we got some end of November, and one was very bald. I thought she was never going to make it but at least she would have a chance, better than going straight into cat food. But shes fine!!! She has feathered up nicely and is doing really well, she's pretty cheeky too. So i would say definitely get some if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulad Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 get them if you have room - mine dont care about the weather - and the nights are already lighter - 5pm last night before it started getting dark xxx Spring will soon be here xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It would appear that 2 or 3 have been reserved in my name, now how did that happen hahaha They are going to be very cold ex batts. Am going to turf existing ladies into cube and enclosure, then ex batts can have eglu classic, WIR and a heat lamp to keep them a wee bit warmer.

sparkysmum Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Two happy ex cage hens now happily installed in their ark and classic run. 3 hr round trip but worth it. Always amazes me to see how instinct takes over and they immediately begin to do chickeny things for the first time. Hadn't a clue where bed was and poor Simon had to crawl into the run in the rain and dark to shove them in the pop hole Photos tomorrow.

sparkysmum Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Mmm don't seem impressed with our weather at all or perhaps they're camera shy Think I'm going to have to shove them out of their ark if they don't make an appearance soon. poor wee things, from hot and steamy to gales , rain and cold. Maybe photies later. XX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Well done for giving them a new life. I loved my three, just Agnes left now, they do take time to get used to their new surroundings. It is great to see them doing chickeny things.

sparkysmum Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 No photies yet, too dark. Think I've got one well girl and one a bit poorly. Both have laid, bless them. They've been thro' a lot so I'm just going to add some tonic to their water and leave alone for the mo. They are right outside my kitchen patio doors, so are within sight all the time.

LolaLayla Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Well done for taking the girls. I must admit I wondered if I could squeeze any more in my classic but reckoned not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
