Rescuing abandoned chickens.

I'm glad you got them! Would also love to see pictures

Veru happy you rescued them!
I would like to see them. Can you post some pictures, please? Thank you

Here you go! I checked on them as soon as it got light this morning and they seem happy. They're not afraid of us at all so in their minds maybe it was all just a nightmare. I'm curious if anyone can identify Dahlia (the white one). She looks like a Sussex to me but she has a lot of buff feathers and her neck feathers aren't as black as the pictures of a Light Sussex. Could she be mixed with Buff Orpington maybe? I'm not familiar with the Sussex breed at all.

This is Petunia:

This is Marigold:

Dahlia:

And Rose:

The third one is a Delaware. Great dual purposes bird

Pretty girls! They seem to have come through the experience pretty well!

Yay! So happy they found a forever home! Who would dump 4 pretty hens all alone??

It's possible that they had a reason for not keeping them (illmess, moving, ect.) And couldn't find someone to take them. I can't even get people to take pol pullets where I am now

What a great update! Happy for you! Hopefully the injured bird heals quickly

We've had two or three birds dumped in our area. I got lucky with a pretty, young Leghorn pullet!!

Thanks, I think you might be right.

I wonder what their story is.
