Grandmashazzie Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Meet Beyoncé, Hayley, Ronaldo, Chickenpox and Barbara, new rescue hens. Named by my grandchildren. They are very well feathered but very thin. They were barn birds. They are settling in nicely but my existing hens are not pleased at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyRoo Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I have two of these in my flock - they're two of the friendliest. Love being hand fed and petted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 They are wonderful girls, well done for taking them on, those combs will soon redden up. I have to say, thats possibly the best set of names I have come across! How old are your grandchildren, I just love the mix of celebrities, an old fashioned name and Chickenpox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Well done for rescuing them. They look pretty good but then I suppose they were in a barn as opposed to a cage. I bet they have been enjoying their freedom ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thank you all. Yes names very varied. Children are from 11 to 7. Barbara is actually my middle name,but I don’t think he knows that. I think it was after the chicken rescue lady. She was very kind and showed them around her farm and put the coloured bands for them. Her name is Barbara Mama Hen Mladek, she changed her name by deed poll. All laid today 🍳🥚🍳🥚🍳 I will be able to start baking soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
