Luvachicken Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think she is taking in the view and all the lovely air that she has been missing out on in her previous life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavclojak Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Silly question pottage but what area did you get her from? We did a barn rehoming on 15th June! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Lovely photo! In my experience there's a huge difference in ability between ex-caged and ex-barn hens. Ex-caged girls do tend to weaker and just stand about before they cotton on that they can move around. Ex-barn dancers are much fitter and will jump high. We rehomed 4 barn dancers last Sunday and only Sassasfras Roots has not tried leaping around like an acrobat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickabee Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It is a lovely photo Took my ex caged girls ages to move around. They didn't even know that they could stretch their wings. Now though they can run, jump, escape from their run. One even got out of my garden and into next doors front garden. Still don't know how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
