Rescued 60 Isa brown hens today

[MyParadiseFalls]

We rescued a TON of hens today. For those of you who don’t know, we already have over 220 chickens but decided to rescue 60 today. They are in bad shape, came from a henhouse originally, never saw daylight, never eaten or even seen grass. They were then moved to the place that we picked them up from. This guy obviously just buys and sells and buys and sells and buys and sells without caring about the conditions his birds live in. There were 200 hens in a space big enough for 30 hens, all standing in mud, several lying dead, trampled, on the ground. We took 60 of them, that’s all we could feasibly rescue without going bankrupt. They will be nursed back to health on green green pastures and live out the rest of their lives here at 3:19 Farms.

How are your rescue hens now? I have rescued some myself and am baffled at how to help them. They look horrible and I'm not sure how to fatten them up and get them healthy. My granddaughter loves them, they just look pitiful. Any suggestions?

How wonderful you rescued these hens! Get them on a good poultry feed, occasional probiotics can't hurt either, lots of fresh air and relaxation, excess love... Come fall they will molt out all their ratty feathers and by early winter should have a nice coat of new feathers.

If they are ISA Brown they have a dwarf gene, and are genetically slim. They were developed like that to maximize feed/production ratios.
