Good job on Rescuing hens!

 

[Equiem]

Hello Equiem.
Welcome to BYC.
I would like to see some picture of Gertrude, Hetti and Prudence.
Rescue hens, another level of life for them. Well done.

Prudence - very shy and noisy when you go near her - except if you have treats!

Hetty - the tiniest chicken but is 100% the boss lady! Hetty with the huge wattles!

This is Gertrude - she loves looking dead into the camera. The chicken that's the happiest to be held. Will kill for cheese.

A picture of them free ranging in the garden

What is left of the floor in their free range run (it's hard to get an unblurred photo of them all!)

This is where they live! This is an old photo - we have recently put wood chips down on the floor ready for winter! (Note: Look at the grass where they stick their heads through the mesh to get - How long is a chickens neck? This long!)

Thank you. They look very like the Catalan hens here.
Gertrude looks a character!
You've given them a lovely run.

Well, at least you won't have to worry about mowing the grass next to the fence line!
