Happy Hen Chicken Rescue!

[roostersandhens]

We will be adopting 8 hens from Animal Place! We were going to take 6, but someone near me asked to adopt 2 hens, so I said I would bring back 8 hens so he could adopt 2. I will be keeping the other 6. Then hopefully in 2 weeks or so I will be able to rescue more battery hens. If you live near the Central Coast of CA or know anyone in the area please spread the word about Happy Hen Chicken Rescue!

You're awesome! I wish we didn't live on totally opposite corners of the continent. We'd work well together!

Thanks. Yeah, it is too bad, because we would work well together!

How will you integrate the new hens into the current flock of rescues?

Today I am leaving! I will be in the car all day today, and then go to Animal Place tomorrow. I am leaving at 1:00 today. So, if you have any questions ask them now, I will not be on BYC while I am gone.

@theawesomechick , the hens I am getting on Sunday will be their own flock, with their own coop. The flocks will, however, free-range together in the day. Hopefully they will get along. I have a cockerel named Pip, and he will be sharing a coop with the new hens - he has been wanting hens for a while now.

Someone just asked if we would take 2 roosters someone dumped on their property. I am deciding if I have enough space for them and if I want to take them. It is just so hard to re-home roosters...

How's it going so far?

I just got home about an hour ago. I would have replied but I didn't bring a computer. Okay, so we ended up getting 10. 8 of the hens will become permanent residents at the rescue - the others will be going to a new home sometime this week. We already have someone who wants them. Anyways, the Isa Brown hens are so pretty! And very friendly. They were rescued from a filthy farm. They have lice, and we saw a red mite on one of them.

I also took the tour of Animal Place. It was so much fun! I will show you all the picture I took at animal place.

This is Mortimer a calf who was rescued. His mother sadly died.


This is one of the bulls at Animal Place


This is Animal Place's friendliest sheep


These are some of the chickens and turkeys at Animal Place. I must say the poultry barn is the best place at Animal Place!























These are the pigs! I got to rub the pigs bellies - it is so fun.









And the goats
