Guest Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 My daughter and I, Helen (gooner.girl) and the Essex team (minus KateA who couldn't make it) did another rescue last saturday. We rehomed 320 hens (2 at my house picture elsewhere) (another one due in october sometime where it is rumoured there will be over 800 hens) anyway - a few pics... Helen cutting toenails with my daughter... last ten crates on the van.. first proper view of the world outside: first experience of grass (they learn how to scratch and peck worms within about 10mins...) Sophie - full metal jacket chicken rescuer! - with Carys... Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Am I right you rehomed 2-how are they getting on. I'd love to do a rescue but wasn't needed when I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can hook up at the next Coventry one in '08 Eglutine? We might be ready to take on a couple of resuce hens then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
