Busy Busy Busy

The man of the house will be away tomorrow [Thurs] at LHR and then I'll be there Friday and sleeping over until Saturday and then bringing back over 100 hens and a cockerel for the people of Lincolnshire & Cambridgeshire.
We're also bringing back sacks of food and other items for the new owners of the hens.
At some point the boys need taking to Adams and others need offloading elsewhere, lol.
It'll just be the one usual little monkey with us on Saturday.

Life...so far

We're (so far) bringing back 71 ex battery hens + 1 cockerel for new homes in Lincolnshire & Cambridgeshire so we'll have a full van load. I'm going over in the car on Fri then sleeping over with the chooks and Mark will come along on saturday for the half day and to collect the hens.

The Pekins are growing gradually, the Lavenders are the biggest. Their wing feathers are huge and they keep flitting about now so we've moved them from the indoor guinea pig cage and into the dog crate with Correx panels around the sides so they can't get out and the dogs paws can't get in to play with them. Little Flipper is fine and there's no sign of the splayed legs that "it" hatched with.

Sadly we unexpectedly lost 2 of our ex batt ladies recently. At least they had a lovely happy life whilst here.

Eddie's joke

A man decided he wanted to become a chicken farmer so went to a rescue and got
100 hens to start up with.

A month later, they had all died so he went back to the rescue for another 100.

The rescue got very suspicious as on the third month, the man came back for
another 100 hens saying all the others had again died but that he had worked out
what the problem was.





He'd been planting them too deep!!

My apologies / Pekin chicks

I've not been updating anything for a while as I've felt crap (to put it bluntly) With my health being quite unpredictable, sometimes I can corpse for ages and then the longer I'm off the computer, the longer it takes me to get motivated as I know I'll have hundreds of emails to face.
For a while, well since the last hen rescue....all I've done is deal with chooks with my dear other half's help. I've been on a real downer after seeing Doctor Doom.

We put 9 Pekin eggs in the incubator on the 7th March of which 8 hatched yesterday (and one was a late death) The children are thrilled, especially Mini whom they belong to. The chicks have now been moved under the heat lamp and another 9 eggs have gone in the incubator today which will hatch a couple of days after Easter....so if anyone is interested in any, get in touch. There will be a price for these (£10 each) as they are my 7 year old daughter's chicks so any money is going in her bank. We cannot sex them yet as have previously not had experience sexing chicks. Click pics to enlarge them.








Mini, (aged 7) who the Pekins all belong to. Mini is our daughter that comes to the rehoming days at Norwich LHR and everyone thinks she's a little boy as she's a tomboy, happiest when upto her knees in muck and sitting with her chooks. She DOES get quite annoyed when people call her "young man" or "mate" though. Bless her.

Here are the Chicks' Daddy and Mummies

Please see our extra web pages, devoted to hens http://www.rosahhenrescue.eshire.net

We have also advertised the poultry housing sold by Power Poultry as to us, it looks very good at a reasonable price.

The next Little Hen Rescue is Easter weekend so please give me or Jo a ring if you are wanting any ex battery hens from that rescue.


Hopefully now I've got online, I will now be motivated to be on a bit each day ....unless I get wiped out again.

Hubby has been redoing the garden so the rabbits we have left (no, we don't want any more as I'm allergic to them) have somewhere to run. He's built up the fencing for their safety.

Back soon x

SHED NEEDED BY THE GUINEA PIGS

Can anyone help with our need for a shed for the guinea pigs?

The outbuilding room we are currently keeping them in has become damp which is not good for their respiratory systems, yet the cages we have are no use for being outside. They were donated to us but are made of softwood.
If anyone has a shed they no longer require, we can help dismantle it.

If any company can offer us a new basic shed, that would be appreciated too and we would advertise your business on our main website as a thankyou.

Please call 0845 017 9422 if you can help or leave a comment on here with your details. Our telephone may go to answerphone, if so, PLEASE leave a message so we can call you back.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN SO WE CAN GET EVERYTHING IN ORDER ASAP.

Thankyou for reading
