    Poem to a rescued caged hen

    An Ex-Battery Hen’s First Christmas I woke all cosy and warm in the hay And smiled at the thought ‘another free-range day’ As I ruffled and fluffed and cooed and preened I heard Mable cry a chilling scream!

I get them from the battery cages and take them home. they arrive emaciated, some with broken wings and bright green bruises, huge combs that cover their eyes so they can only see out of one eye. Some of them have some white downy fluff on but most...

    Will my dogs be a problem for a chicken?

    My hens attack my dog when he gets excitable I'm lucky as he has only nipped one once and she really pecked him into submission. he has now learned to walk among them very calmly or he will be chased and pecked. Needless to say though if my dogs personality were different I'm sure some of my...

    hen that wants to be a rooster?

    no she stays out of trouble I've never seen any of the girls peck her or chase her for food. she is always very calm and cool never pecks anyone in the flock. i think you're right i think she prob doesn't know what it is, it is only her first summer after all.
