Got a cheque today

It's all very exciting, we received our first ever cheque from our webshop sales commission for £23.02. It will come in so handy as things are so tight at the moment we are struggling with feed/bedding bills.

RoSAH Rescue

Way Hey! We have a new website url for the guinea pig rescue thanks to our dear friend, Jill
the url is www.rosahrescue.co.uk which is so easy to remember and we are thrilled. Please remember us!
BTW We have no baby guinea pigs but have some baby rabbits ready to go. Minimum donation of £10 each. They are Mini Lionhead crosses and adorable.
PS We ARE NOT a rabbit rescue. We have to clarify this. Being gifted rabbits causes us enormous problems as I am asthmatic and rabbits are a trigger for my asthma attacks due to allergy and my children have to tend to the rabbits.

WOOHOO LHR DID IT!

All the 10-11,000 hens were rescued from the farm. The last one had a red ring put on her leg and was named Jo!
The fantastic way in which all the volunteers pulled together to make this happen makes me realise what a really special group we are at Little Hen Rescue.
EVERY hen has a home which is amazing! All the people who have come forward to offer homes, the people who made the fleecy and woolly jumpers for the baldies, YOU ARE STARS!
Hopefully now these poor girls whom some have been in a cage of 10 hen (legal limit 4-5 depending on the cage size) can now stretch their wings, walk about and enjoy the retirement they deserve.

We are not sure when the next rescue will be. We hope we can take a break and gather ourselves BUT if a farmer comes along wanting his sheds clearing or we hear that the slaughterman has been booked, we will all swing into action once again.

Personally I thank everyone for all you have done. I can't run around hen catching due to my disability but offering advice to new owners is just as important. Everybody who helps us in any way is equally as important.

FULLY BOOKED FOR THE WEEKEND

It's great news that we are fully booked for the rescues this weekend and also that we rehomed 10 birds from here tonight who were "spare" last time but bald and had big red bare bums so I wanted to keep my eye on them. They are all eating well and looking better so they have gone to a new home in the village tonight.
We've had lots of interest and our new website url is so much easier to remember www.lincslittlehens.co.uk and it fits with my email address too which is lincslittlehens@aol.com. We've had some vinyls made up for the vehicles to advertise and have got flyers for photocopying when the man gets around to doing it! The website url was organised for us by Jill who we are really grateful to.
We will start taking bookings for the next rescue come next week and the bedlam of the weekend is over.
Lexi is my new best mate. I've always tried to remain detached even though she was here from Jill for TLC. Lexi was chirping at me earlier and trying her best to get on my knee so I lifted her on, she then copied me typing the emails and managed to delete a message to Jill. Mark thought it was hilarious as she was tapping away. I had to email Jill and ask if she can stay here in exchange for two more.
I love Lexi to bits and would be gutted if she went home even though that was always the intention.

Our weekend

We've had two lovely pigeons lodging with us for most of the week. I managed to hold the darker one and see blue ink on it's flight feathers which clearly showed a 'phone number so I called it and eventually got hold of the owner in Bridlington. I thought the birds had left us last night as they were nowhere in sight at bedtime but today they were back with us. I REALLY love them and secretly hope they never get their bearings and leave. Click to enlarge the pic. They're stunners. No idea where the mainly white one hails from. It has different rings to the grey one who I call "Bridget from Bridlington"

Yesterday Mark built "The Peek Inn" and a fun day was had by all of us and especially the Pekins at bedtime who had to sleep in the same hut for the first time. It started out as a brand new garden store. We've already got one for the ex batts but that is at ground level rather than being raised like the bantams one has been. It's customised to suit them. Roosting bars, cat litter trays as nest boxes in case of chicks, correx floor for easy cleaning and it'll hopefully be painted on the outside this week and look like a Southwold Beach Hut along with the Des Res too ;-)

Today Aunty K came with my dear nephews and we spent the day outside with the chooks. Amber laid an egg that rolled all the way down their carpeted ladder and Fenella laid one at Aunty K's feet so of course we let her take them for the boys breakfast.

In fact K took all of todays fresh eggs which I *think* was 14. No duck egg today but when Jemima does lay an egg we have to get it quickly as the ex batts seem to have a liking for duck eggs.

After K and the boys left I got cracking on the computer sorting out all the hen people for next weekend. Sending reminders to people who registered an interest but hadn't replied when given a date. I'm trying to get everyone on Sat but again, it depends how many reply. I do have one lady coming on Sunday but I'll be over there anyway so don't mind bringing her 7 back then.

Mark will have to go to Bearts this week and stock up on mash again. Seems the best way of doing it rather than lugging it all the way from Norwich when we'll be going to Bearts anyway.

Have now given Chloe a trim and am feeling knackered. Am just eating some cheese ravioli with Reggae sauce then I'm off to sleep.
