Got some new girls to add to my little flock today. Thanks to Debbie for letting me collect them from her house and to Carly, who co-ordinated the whole rescue in just 5 days with 4 volunteers which ain't bad considering the farmer brought the slaughter date forward by 5 weeks! As far as I know 1200 hens were rescued today and tonight will be settling down in new homes.
I have fenced off part of the run so the new hens can settle in without being bullied to death by the current girls. I'll let them all in together when the newbies are more able to stand up for themselves.
