Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

[Marie2020]

Hello Shad and everyone.

I sadly no longer have chickens. Due to my health conditions
Below is Tina and Agatha my two beautiful girls that were rescued.

This is when they decided to move into the main coop. They were soon welcomed into the fold.

This is flexi. She and Agatha really became best friends

Above is Flexi Amber and Princess.

Amber left us first leaving me with my 4 lovely ladies. Then Flexi and Agatha both died. Leaving me with Princess (the white girl) and Tina.
Tina then passed and things went down hill rapidly.
Princess bonded will my cat Timothy but I felt it was time she was back into a flock again. Luckily I found a perfect place for her on a vegan farm rescue. She lived a wonderful last year of her life there amongst many friends and even had a duck admirer called hugie . She passed away in September of last year.

Happier times with Princess and Tina

Good to see this house is still open

When I first joined BYC (I will refer to BYC as Chicken Town/TC for here on) like many I suspect I wandered the streets looking at the various threads (I will refer to these threads as houses) for somewhere to stay. I stayed at the town pond for a while and sat on a Lily leaf. I moved into the town Cafe for a while, even made the morning coffee on occasions. I visited the various craft shops and started my own. I had a brief look in the various churches and spent a few hours looking around the old peoples home. I met lots of welcoming people, made a few friends in the various places I visited but the desire to have my own home in Chicken Town led me to building my own house, Shadrach’s Ex Battery and Rescues house.

I wanted a house where chickens could come and go, much like my house In Catalonia and most of all, I wanted a house that was rooster friendly.

I built the house made a plan on how to run it and opened the doors. More lodgers than I expected moved in. They came from all parts of the world and the house grew. Some lodgers moved in and moved on, some lodgers moved in and stayed. Overall the house functioned very well. The lodgers paid their rent in chicken tax, bar a few who were to chicken poor to pay and the vast majority of lodgers seemed to appreciate the house atmosphere and evictions were rare.

It seems from the conversations I’ve had with the lodgers that closing the house down has made them homeless and some have said they will not be coming to chicken town as often as they did and others are not looking forward to being back on the streets.

I don’t want that, despite the difficulties I’m having maintaining the house, it’s not the fault of the lodgers. I don’t want to be making people homeless in chicken town.

I’ve reopened the house and hope that the lodgers will help maintain the house while I deal with the problems I have outside chicken town.

So glad you reopened the house

I gave the chooks an alfalfa block in case they needed more greens, they much preferred the cardboard it came in

I had just started reading this thread and was sorry to see it close, so I’m glad you’ve re-opened it. I sure get the impulse to step away for a breather. This is my first comment here, so I’ll go ahead and pay my tax with this photo of my new boy Knuckles.
