Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Ladies-Eight]

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

Temperature is in the 60s and mostly cloudy.

Have a great day!

Shad, good to see that you are back on your feet ( sort of) . I'm sure the chickens meant to say thanks, but it slipped their little birdbrains. Good for C, bummer that the rest did not step up.

Aww, great holiday memory pics.

Yes. All three of these amazing birds are gone.

Dog tax doesn't count. In fact you lose all tax benefits if what you post aren't dogs at all.

I thought my dogs were dogs, not an ankle-biter in the lot.

Just in case I owe tax:

I made it. Two hours. Damp, windy and cold.
From what I could see C has done more than I expected. Well done C. The treasurer came to the field while I was there for a chat and to see how I was. They were the only person who did exactly what was asked of them without fuss or drama. Everybody came out. I don't think they had been out of the run for over a week.
I didn't give any of them a check over but from their behaviour they seem no worse for their confinement. The run is 6m x 6m which is larger than many for five chickens. No tangible signs they missed me apart from a few moments with Henry.View attachment 3710967

Glad to see them again, and hear that you're on the road to recovery.

One and a half hours today. Wet with 35mph wind gusts that whip around the compass, grey and dismal.
Nobody was the slightest bit interested in coming out. Cleaned the coop out. Fed them and gave them clean water.
It's going to be even more miserable tomorrow.
More agreeable weather would have been nice to return to chicken duties given I still feel rough.

The walking will probably help with your recovery, if you don't overdo it.

My current dog/canine loves chickens, and not in a detrimental way to them!

are you expecting any public transport to run? Or are you leaving it to C since the birds don't want to leave the run anyway in the awful weather?
