Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Ladies-Eight]

One of the nameless one billion battery chickens that die each year in the UK because of peoples demand for chicken eggs died this morning sometime after 6.30 am.
But, this hen wasn't nameless. She was called Lima.

@Shadrach

My sympathy to you as I know how you cared for her.

 

[Ladies-Eight]

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

LIMA rest in peace you deserve it.

Temperature is in the 70s.

Have a great day!

 

[Sequel]

Oh Shad I’m so sorry! Out of all the billions of chickens who live and die anonymously, Lima was very lucky to have ended up with Bucket Boy!

 

[Sequel]

Called the vet office again this morning. They said the culture results should be back Monday. Just hope Skeksis has a few more days left in her until we can get the right meds. She is still largely immobile.

If I had this many fingers they would all be crossed for you and Skeksis!!!!

If I had this many fingers they would all be crossed for you and Skeksis!!!!

Thank you.

I was wondering why there were very few tinted eggs recently, since the Swedish Flowers seem to be in good health, and assumed the regime change had thrown them off laying. But no. The pullets (1st birthday in a couple of weeks) have been taking lessons from Polka and evidently Dyffryn's been at it too

I ended up letting my broody Marans sit on some fertile eggs. She’s only been half-serious the last few times she’s tried, and none of my flocks eggs are fertile, but she just turned one and I caved. Here is the result, as payment of tax:

Two little chicks!

 

[Perris]

congratulations!
what breed hatching eggs did you get for her? Are we looking at one blonde and one chestnut colour chick?

 

[L-plate chicken mum]

Ohhhhh, tax.
Happy hatch day Bub bub.
Whereabouts in the UK are you? You can fill in your location on your profile page.

Unfortunately not a rural part of Bucks, perhaps one day…..
