we are going to collect our 12 chickens next week

eRaze

Do you know if the chickens are Injected with all of that for sure ??

Or are you just going on Hear say ???



Ash...

ash my hubby used to work on a chicken farm when he was younger and he said the they only injected them with antibiotic to stop them getting infections
because they were so close to other chickens
i don,t know if they inject them with anything else these days

but i can,t see the poor things killed
they can live quite happy in my back garden and any eggs they produce will go towards the birds feed
(we feed our birds scrambled egg every day )

am sooooo excited
we are going to pick up our rescue chickens on thursday

i know some of you are thinking why am i getting excited
but i am cos those poor chickens would end up dead otherwise and they can live out the rest of their lives happily in my back garden

hubby has sorted out their living accomadation so i,ll post pics of them all soon
along with their names
i gotta remember 12 new names now

Thats wonderful news Jackie. Have you decided all their names yet?

Have homes been found for them all the others yet do you know?

thanx amanda
i have a few names
gems
katy
staffy
norma(n)
shirley
meg

just gotta find a few more

i think in total there is around 7,000 maybe more being rescued so i,m sure there are plenty still looking for homes

jackie do you get to pick your chickens, or are you just given some??

just given them gems
we are meeting the lady at the motorway services to pick ours up

Wonder where you got those names from Great though

7000 OMG that is just so many. The poor little darlings. I'll make a few enquiries up here, but can't promise anything as I think the distance will be a prob for many
There's also a lady down south somewhere that has a 'chicken sanctuary', but even so I think she's pushed to her limits now.
Kev at North Lakes branch may be willing to take a few on, but I'll have to check.
I can't take any I'm affraid. I've already had a visit from the council thanks to my neighbours, so I could face losing my dogs as it is

aww thanx amanda i know they have a week or two to rescue them all
and also there are lots of people willing to help transport them to homes

@your neighbours reporting you
hope you don,t lose the dogs
