    New Flock Rescue Hens and Old Flock

    That is a lovely thing to say and you are right to remind me that even if they were only happy for a wee while they got to roam, were cosy, got treats and even got used to my dog, then it was ten times better than they had fending for themselves. Thank you for your words of wisdom.

    My chicken is limping
