Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Shadrach]

I've got a lot of things that need my attention during the next week so I may not get to post daily.
I'm going to see a couple of Light Sussex hens tomorrow who need a new home.
Dry and warmish yesterday. Three hours at the allotments.
One of the allotment holders is a trustee at one of the local city farms. There are apparently some grants available for projects like the allotments where the chickens are kept. The city farm that the above person is a trustee of has just received a grant of £90,000. A few of us at the allotments would like to make an application for some money from these grants. There is a problem though. The group/community needs 3 trustees and transparent accounts. C can't/wont supply any account details nor it seems are there the three required trustees.
We are looking at options.

Henry, Fret and Carbon doing their bit on the compost heap.

Hoping to squeeze a row of chard in this gap.

Both Fret and Carbon have settled down to laying every other day.

I hope they are lucky enough to come home with you.

Ex Batts good morning one and all!

I hope those of you who want to participate in the grant money get the opportunity to do so.

Temperature is in the 80s.

Have a great day!

C needs to take a permanent vacation, maybe lunar travel. She is obviously on the fiddle.

Lovely, Penny! Love the tire planters.

I can only say I wish I had a garden.

 

[Perris]

whatever is causing the broodiness, a third one's gone down with it now
Between that and moulting I shall be getting very few eggs for a while

 

[Ladies-Eight]

I've got one trying to be broody.

When I was picking up my eggs she was setting on 5.

When I reached under her to take an egg she pecked me.

I don't have a rooster.
