We have rescued l three batches of chickens from the British Hens Welfare Trust and they have provided us with fresh eggs for the guest house. We give them space to roam and they are well fed. They have brought us a lot of joy. It’s like having a reality show outside the window.

These 6 are now fully feathered and integrated with the rest of the family. They still like to eat from the same lunch-bowl.

Thanks to the British Hen Welfare Trust we have 6 rescue hens. We went to collect them today.

They were brought up from a farm in the Scottish Borders yesterday to Inverness. They were in the back of the car for nearly 3 hours on the way home. Now they are exploring and scratching their way around the pen. We will give them a good life. This photograph was taken on their first time outside in their lives.

This is Binky. She’s been such a good hen at the vets recently. Got her on her second implant to keep her from laying eggs as that causes her some health issues. She had hers done the other day alongside Strawberry.

It’s not cheap, but I’m grateful to have the vet care accessible for them. Each of our hens are incredible and unique souls, as are each of the sorely missed girls that are no longer with us.
