Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

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 you made it.
36 square meters is just a shade less than the space mine have when I am forced to confine them inside the Chicken Palace.
Mine seem OK with confinement for a few weeks - though when I return and let them out they rush out like their fluffy butts are on fire.

I’ve really missed them! I’m so glad you made it out there!

Does this count as tax??

Well done, C! Good to see them again. Mow couldn't be cuter. She's like a cotton ball with a mohawk.

Nice!
I would have thought the chickens would be pleased to see you again after 3 weeks, Shad. But they have each other too of course.

Is that picture made with AI?

Shad was prescient when he named her Mow: short for Mow-hawk

Not sure, but I doubt it.
It came up in my FB feed memories from years ago.
