buffie Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) URGENT APPEAL We have a new Co-ordinator in the Coventry area who will be carrying out a hen collection on the 29th September 2007. If you can offer a good home to some retiring ex-bats, please contact either Ian or Mollie on 07806 924 969. We currently have about 75 hens seeking caring homes that offer the opportunity for freedom, fresh air and free range facilities. Thank you BBx Edited September 17, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I hope you find homes for them karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm wondering whether to get ex batts or pekins? Or maybe pekins this year & get a second hand eglu in Spring for some ex batts as well. One thing is sure, I will definitely rescue some battery hens in my lifetime! Wonder if my sister would like ex batts as she has a whole farm they can roam on. Imagine all that freedom for them! I'll have a word!

feemcg Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I read on Practical Poultry forum that this rescue is the 29th, not 22nd - just in case anyone needs to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Yes I can confirm that the rescue is on the 29th, Ian and Mollie will be at the same farm as I will be going to with John and Monica and on the same dates. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I'll come back to you and confirm I've checked the forum and until I get the correct info I can just suggest if you are interested give them a call. .

Popcorn Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 We've been waiting for the Coventry co-ordinator to resuce some hens as we'd love some. We've also been trying to save some money to extend the run, but haven'tbeen able to, so it's a no from us this time, sadly. Hope to be able to help out next time. Did you have any luck with Sunrise Eggs Buffie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 That's a shame Emma I had an email back from the new co-ordinator and our names are down for the next rescue when he has a date. Much nearer than Devon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
