Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Marie2020]

I remember how you very wisely gave me the downside of keeping battery hens. I honestly really appreciated that but there's usually a BUT isn't there?

I'm struggling right now with pain and not being as agile as the rest of some of us chicken carers BUT if I can continue I feel after all the wonderful thoughts and ideas I have been having I would still want these beautiful little battery girls if I can possibly manage it.

Tina isn't the most trusting of friendliest chickens I have had but seeing her darting around in all kinds of weather enjoying her ventures in my crummy garden, gives me so much pleasure.

I dearly loved Agatha even though I feel that I failed her miserably by not knowing how too keep her alive but as you said Shadrach many die because of being overly used.
Since losing her I have learned a little more and Tina really has bennifited thanks too my friends here like @RoyalChick @BY Bob and my sweet @Ponypoor and last but not least the knowledge you've planted in my thick head

Flexi wasn't a battery and she was such a huge character, her and Agatha were best friends I miss them both but im happy I had the honour of keeping them

Clicking on the 3 points, edit and change (backspace) doesn’t work for you? That’s how I delete a wrong picture.

 

[RoyalChick]

Clicking on the 3 point to change doesn’t and deleting the pic work for you?

I didn’t know about that! I use the edit function.

On a phone there is no edit button right away. The three points under you’re message give acces to the edit button.

Oh yes. Those three points with the little down arrow. Sorry, being slow witted. Yes, that is what I do.

I have a lot of birds, over adult 50 chickens and over 30 turkeys plus grow outs, so they go through quiet a few the first week...then they get bored with them and eat one a day. So far they have eaten a few dz since Nov 2nd.

My chickens don't like pumpkin at all. Maybe it's strange food to them? Pumpkin has only been readily available in the Netherlands in more recent years.
