CW: Sad about our chicken.
Not sure I’ve ever cried so much as over Agatha, our rescue chicken who has died suddenly, before she had a change to regrow feathers. These ex-commercial egg hens are often in such an awful state even though they’re “free range”. She had six months of happy foraging though, at least. #chickens #backyardchickens #rescuehens

We have rescued l three batches of chickens from the British Hens Welfare Trust and they have provided us with fresh eggs for the guest house. We give them space to roam and they are well fed. They have brought us a lot of joy. It’s like having a reality show outside the window.
These 6 are now fully feathered and integrated with the rest of the family. They still like to eat from the same lunch-bowl.

Thanks to the British Hen Welfare Trust we have 6 rescue hens. We went to collect them today.
They were brought up from a farm in the Scottish Borders yesterday to Inverness. They were in the back of the car for nearly 3 hours on the way home. Now they are exploring and scratching their way around the pen. We will give them a good life. This photograph was taken on their first time outside in their lives.

This is Binky. She’s been such a good hen at the vets recently. Got her on her second implant to keep her from laying eggs as that causes her some health issues. She had hers done the other day alongside Strawberry.
It’s not cheap, but I’m grateful to have the vet care accessible for them. Each of our hens are incredible and unique souls, as are each of the sorely missed girls that are no longer with us.

Flockdown for our #rescuehens in the #uk will formally be in place from November 7.
If you have hens please do everything you can do adhere to the order and keep them safe and happy as possible over the next few months 💚

This is Babs.
She joined us a few weeks ago. She had to be rehomed from a loving family due to a change in circumstances 😔 But we’re so happy to have her in our flock.She’s a sweet and polite girl, still finding her way with her flockmates though. Prefers to hang around on her little mezzanine level, but she’s spending a little more time on the ground with the others each passing day 🥰💚

Evening chickens! This golden girl is Willow, our eldest hen. She’s the last of the four girls we first rehomed. She’s a gentle wise soul, a loving girl that, in turn, we love so.

Babs doing her best #FluffyButtFriday !!

We’re so proud of Aila. She’s been doing so well being brave with all the others in her new flock. She even went to bed in the coop all by herself without any coaxing at all!
Strawberry still picks on her, and Binky likes to join in, so she still spends much of her time on the higher perches or the “sky bar” ontop of the coop. She is such a sweet and gentle hen 💚
