*de-lurks*

Someone mention running?

Good going Jane, looks like your girls are going to get on

[Glutton4...]

Hello running nutter! How are you?



Points out that Hashette and I have met, so she can confirm my unsuitablility for running lol!

[RedThorn]

So can I and you're just perfect Jane.

You're not short, you're just you ... (nuff said ) lol

EDIT : Nice girls btw... how many's that now .....

[Glutton4...]

Hi RT you cheeky b*gger!

I now have 23 'Laydees;' 8 brown ex-batts, 7 white ex-free rangers, 2 Copper Marans, 2 Cuckoo Marans, 2 very similar to the Copper Marans and 2 cream speckly feathery-footed large fluffy things!

I was offered 4 more this week too - I am TRYING to resist ...

ps Your Tigerella Tomatoes are YUMMY - many thanks RT!

[HayleyB]

Hey shortie.......... I reckon those cream specley feather footed things are Wheaten Marans one of our Wheatens has feathered legs.

[Hashette]

Someone's getting broody over here too. Erm..... that would be me

Now we're down to three, we've got room for another two, and it would make sense to introduce them in the summer whilst we can spend some time with them. Got to be ex-batts, though, anyone know of a rescue happening soonish?

I believe Hen rehomers are doing one on 22nd August. May be too late now but maybe worth an email?

[MaureenHall]

BHWT Coventry has one on 30th August, but I think they had one last weekend too. It might be worthwhile giving Ian and Mollie a ring to see if they've got an "left overs" (that's if Coventry is get-at-able for you)

ps, you can tell them I sent you if you like

Soo.....when you getting them?

no problem

[Hashette]

Fabby, thanks Mo and Sue.

I can't find Coventry on the BHWT contact page, does anyone have the number?

[MaureenHall]

If you go to the contacts page Find your nearest Battery Hen Welfare Trust rescue coordinator and send them an email. Ian and Mollie are really good at getting back to you quickly (Hayley B will back me up on this!) There's also an email link on The next hen rescue date - Battery Hen Welfare Trust (last on the list, West Midlands)

[HayleyB]

Yep Ian and Mollie are definitely there, I've met them - twice

I'm resisting at the moment, due to the hassle factor! If the owner mentions it again, I'll probably cave in, but it means I have to find the time to clean out my original (small) coop and sort out adequate fencing to quarantine them as they have 'lodgers' Their feet are very swollen and their leg scales are sticking out horizontally, and whenever I see them they are always pecking at their skin/feathers like they have parasites or some sort.

I know, I know, they need rescuing, so I probably will if it is mentioned again
