Luvachicken Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Fab photos They have come a long way from your original pics. How they must thank their lucky stars that you rescued them. What's the green stuff - looks a bit like grass how do they not eat it all ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 I only let them out once a week and that's on free-range Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavclojak Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Ah thanks Paula....the old girls are very chilled and regal, they would be upper class, the new girls have no manners, they are bolshy and constantly on the go, they would be trailer trash but I love them non the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Also relieved to see Hen Solo's sisters looking tubby, just like she is - I was beginning to wonder if she was ill but I think she's just fat She looks red faced and busy and I'm sure she's still laying, can't say she's bushy tailed as she moulted those (and the last of the purple feathers!) but they haven't grown back so she looks rather out of balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Gosh as I have lost two of her sisters I was scared to ask? Apparently they were ex barn hens and were all big girls with stubby little legs:) So happy she is ok and I'm forever greatful to you as you know.

redsunset Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Just beautiful.......hard to believe that was the same chicken from just a short while ago!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavclojak Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks redsunset for your kind comments, for the first week of coming to me she was depressed and sad and then developed sour crop, having lost her sister merryweather within 48 hours of bringing her home I really thought I was going to lose her but she has just transformed in to a hen that is literally full on from the minute she gets up! she pecks at the cube pop hole when she hears me in the morning and if I go out before she is fully asleep she will pop straight out again to see what's going on !! she paces up and down the enclosure when she knows I'm about too Im so proud if all my lovely girls, old girls and new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsunset Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Nothing like a nice spring day and to be out pottering with the girls. I was like one of those cartoon characters (who's eyes pop out) zeroing in on your lovely grass!!! I know they have free range days and you don't have a small army of destroyers like me but I'm allowed a little jealousy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsunset Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Ok, not so jealous now. Lovely as foxes look am glad not to have any predators so I'll keep my ragbag of what used to be a garden then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
