Got my new girls...
Got my new girls...and they are in a bad state
These are the hens I got from the burger man, he told me they free ranged and were loved..what a liar...they are skinny and I mean skinny, they all had filthy bottoms when I got them, one has a limp and all got pale faces. If I didn't know better I'd said they came from the cages Lots of good food, poultry spice and love and I'm sure they will flourish. The little girl with the limp I'm keeping an eye on. I can't see anything obvious so think it's a sprain. They all seem to have settled in ok, only a few scraps but otherwise ok Don't dream it, BE it....
Am looking forward to welcoming Sunny Clucker to Woodbridge Suffolk!!!!!
Re: Got my new girls...You are such a lovely lady taking on the burger mans unwanted girls. I'm sure in a few months time you will have them looking in great shape.

Re: Got my new girls...Your flock must be looking better now that you have taken some more 'rescues' and it wont be long before these hens respond to a bit of TLC I am certain
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .
Quote from the proprietor of the The best exotic Marigold Hotel for the elderly and beautiful Re: Got my new girls...Aww well done Lizzie, the last two I got were apparently Barn, I have never seen and smelt anything like little Sugar, but with your love and kindness they will be flourishing in no time

Re: Got my new girls...Well done Lizzie, your new girls will soon be beautiful with all your love and attention.
I know what Perchy means, the last girls we got were supposed to be from a free range set up, the smell was awful and they were so skinny and bald in places, but it didn't take long for the smell to go and they all look lovely now. Sending to you and your lucky girls. 15 ex batty girls, 2 rescue jack russels and one very naughty Shih Tzu puppy who rules the household!!!
Re: Got my new girls...So glad theyve found a lovely new home with you Lizzie
