Today (in the middle of moving into the house) we headed off to Nut House Hen Rescue to collect four new hens, who were liberated from a caged environment only yesterday. Currently they haven't ventured out from under the coop, and are being regarded suspiciously from a distance by our two existing hens. They are lovely though, and very tame.
Not long before the new girls were rooting around for food..and here is one of them meeting Summer the hen through the fence. She's not entirely happy about the new arrivals but hopefully she'll come round..
Steve and Claire Golemboski-Byrne are living off grid in our converted truck, using wind and solar to power our lives. Creating low impact buildings from the materials found around us, and using green woodworking techniques to create beautiful and useful objects. Growing our own food, and living with dog, hens, and horses here in Northern Ireland.
Yay they've arrived! Can't wait to see how they get on - something I'd love to do myself here in our place.
ReplyDeleteAm sure they will have many happy years with you once they have settled in, well done, rescue hens are something I would love to do
