ExBats coming end of August

[Witchy]

Hi guys, First post from me and just wanted to say hello.

Getting four girls from a rescue at the end of the month so am just having a good read on here to see what all you experienced guys do.

Seems to be a massive American croud on here - any other uk members?

Will carry on reading now

Good luck with your new girls! You'll find LOADS of great info here on BYC.

Hello and welcome!

Thank you

We travelled for five hours over this weekend to pick up a kennel that we are going to convert. It was really hard work but we've put it all back together in our garden and managed to utilise a 4ft rabbit hutch, stripping it down to the frame to reuse, partitioned up into nests for them.

I can't wait until our girls come to us - just hate the thought that they are currently living in a tiny uncomfortable box until they can be rescued......

I think you will find four or five other UK members around.
A woman I 'met' on a poultry forum went on a rescue run a couple of weeks ago.

You will like it here, there are so many friendly people. Best wishes with your exbats. Thank you for rescuing them.

The are actually a fair number from the UK. Just post on the Where Am I section, or post something with UK in the title and I've no doubt you'll find each other.

Don't mind me, but what is an ExBat?
