This is ShelterGirls thing, I'm just helping to promote it!
I would love to get something like this going in my state though.
I checked PetFinder for chicken rescues and just to see if there were any chickens in my area in need of rescuing and the closest stuff was in OH!
I would love to get something like this started in my area, I have room...perhaps I should just do it!
I've noticed since I've been raising chickens (and don't shut up about them) people get really confused, they don't seem to grasp the concept of a chicken being anything more than an egg layer or a piece of meat. Mine are pets with benefits...I get eggs.
I think if more people were educated about chickens and met some and noticed that they have personalities, this might be a more popular idea.
Even if you will use the bird for meat later down the line, nothing wrong with giving it nice life before hand. I don't have the stomach to name something and love it and then do the deed...I just don't.
I am doing my best to promote this idea. I've posted it on my facebook, tumblr and it's in my signature here. I had my aunt in GA do some posting. I'm really hoping this works out! It's such a wonderful idea!
That's awesome that people call you for things like that! I'm sure it means a lot to you at the end of the day, might seem silly now and then when no one else knows what the crap to do.
I get the same thing, but we don't have a lot of chicken issues around here....not that I'm aware of anyway and that scares me. People call me when they find a stray dog or if their dog is sick.
It would be really cool if we could all try to get something like this going in our areas.
Even if it's just in our back yards.
