Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

Looks athough they are doing pretty good from the care.

Most are now putting on weight Penny. There are quite a few problems to overcome yet and a few problems that no matter what I, or anyone else does cannot be put right either at all or fast enough to save lives.

I don't know whether to smile because the future is so much brighter for these chickens, or to cry because they are so over crowded.

I'd rather smile, but I'm blinking back tears.

I'm here, following. Thank you for writing about this. Your threads are awesome.

Our chief alarm clock, Stilton (looked like a hunk of blue cheese as a chick), just before shedding that last tail feather for this year's molt.

That's it blame Bob

Nope. He's right. The Chicken tax was my idea.

love the colours and patterns on her feathers @BY Bob - what is she? Also glad to hear it's not just me who finds Macs trying!

She is a Candy Corn Polish and a sweet little lady.

But she keeps whacking me with her feather dusters Bob!
She knows she's welcome wherever I am.

And I come with feather dusters too! I know you love them really.

Thanks for the backstory Shad. Are none of the people who have access to the site/coop interested in the eggs at least?

Happy Thanksgiving gang!
May our hearts be filled with gratitude and our bellies filled with love... and something delicious. Be well all, enjoy, stay safe ♡

@Marie2020
May I ask where your Ex Battery hens came from?
What condition they were in when you received them?
What instructions you were given regarding their keep?

Certainly ...
They came from a battery hen unit in Devon and they along with many others were rescued by the bhwt. They had talked this guy into giving them many hens

When I picked them up from a farm, kept as an animal's rescue. They were put into carriers and I couldn't check them until I got home. As i took them from the Carrier they were afraid but from what I could make of it they were in a healthy condition.

They were afraid too come out at first but I had too segregate them anyway but they were really happy in that small coop and run I used as a temporary measure.

The rescue people told me that this battery owner had vastly improved the way he kept them so the last chickens they got their feathers and condition was good.

Agatha wondering if she should come out on the first morning
