Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

At least it was good expensive news!

@no fly zone very glad to hear it! Curious what feed you were previously using & how it contributed to the lumps.

Scratch & Peck organic layer feed

@Shadrach i just sold several snakes, so i had some extra funds to cover it

And the vet called. Skeksis just has a few fatty lumps, nothing to worry about. We just switched the birds to a new lectin free feed two days ago, so the issue should self-correct.

That's great news!!

Not a chance.

I don't think so.

I'm so sad and sorry, Shad. This is unfair to you and ... just wrong.

On my way home I got a text from C saying 5 more Ex Battery hens will be rehomed this weekend.

I'm sorry. Why exactly are they being rehomed? Do you have a say?

I have a similar roo, BlackieView attachment 3354787

does he have partridge/lavender plumage parents too?

I don't understand; did the vet say the lectin in the feed was responsible for the fatty lumps?

I am sorry five more are leaving, that has to awful hard you !
Had to catch up, politics have no place in civil conversations anymore.
Why could our parents and grand parents. Talk reasonable this age nothing is safe to say.
This is my tax. JMHO

No.

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

58 cloudy 93% humidity feels like 57 rain 13% coastal flood advisory.

@Shadrach I'm so sorry C is getting rid of five more chickens and you don't have any say.

Have a great day!
