Happy Hen Chicken Rescue!

So sad.
The b/w hen in my picture was killed by a fox right in front of me and her 3 companions as we all screamed helplessly. As I ran after him, he dropped her lifeless body in the woods. It was my first and so far only hen casualty and I was in tears for over a month. Most people around here thought I was crazy. But I was devastated and filled with the guilt that I hadn't protected her as I'd promised.

That is very sad. I once saw a hawk in my lawn so I went outside, and he was eating my favorite chicken, Einstein the rooster. I was so sad. Ever morning for weeks I awoke thinking he can't really by gone, he was my best friend I still have't got over him. It has been about a year since he passed away. I will never forget Oreo

Oh My God. I cannot even imagine finding a predator eating one of my companions! That makes me feel sick. I live in the quiet woods on the water, so I have every ground and aerial chicken and cat predator available. Cats live indoors, dogs out only when supervised and hens have a bear-proof run attached to a bear-proof coop. Hopefully.

I (luckily) don't have any bears! I have bobcats, hawk, coyotes, mountain lions, raccoons, etc. Luckily I have only had troubles with 2 predators. Hawks and coyotes, I will never forgive the hawk and the coyote who each killed one of my friends.

Okay, so I made a video of the coop. I have 3 roosters in the coop right now (each are in different sections.

Very pretty do they have names?

Yes they do! The black one is Licorice. The light grey one is Pip. And the barred one is Gandhi. Licorice and Gandhi are both Cochin X Australorp X Barred Rock roosters. And Pip is a Easter Egger. This afternoon I moved my rooster Bumblebee into one of the empty sections, but he wasn't there when I made the video so..

Is Licorice the rooster on the Happy Hen Chicken Rescue logo?

They're all amazingly handsome, by the way.

Wow, roostersandhens, you're an early riser! I never get up any time before seven.

Yup! I usually get up around 6:30 AM


So, this is great news! On Monday I will be picking up 5 - 25 BATTERY HENS!!!!! They are $10 dollars each, but it is very much worth it! We will keep some to live with my roosters, and re-home some. I am very excited! I will try to make a video of when I let them touch the ground for the first time. I will update about this on Monday night! I will have them by Monday around 3:00 PM.
