gavclojak Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Thank you for those kind words but to be honest I feel i am privileged to be allowed to be part of the rehoming. I was also lucky enough to chat to the farmer. Dispute my previous opinion, he didn't have cloven hooves horns and a pointed tail! I felt he really cared about the hens and was doing the best he could with what he had! I honestly thought I would dislike him...maybe I wanted to but I really didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 A big thank you to the teams that did the rehomings yesterday. Our 5 have managed to lay 4eggs this morning as a thank you.......Yorkshire pudding tonight! They spent most of the late afternoon just staring at the garden and made it up the ladder to bed without a fuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
