NEWS AT LHR HQ
Welcome our new residents
1 week old Bernard Matthews turkeys, they were taken off site and are not allowed to be returned due to bio-security.
These little guys will now be our lovely resident turkeys, hopefully joining us for shows, and educational visits.
Soon our little Bernards will be up for sponsorship, so keep an eye on www.littlehenrescue.co.uk for our slightly different gift!
Aren't they so gorgeous. I have asked Jo to keep a photo diary of their progress as they will change so much.
Back to Sutton Bridge news
One of our Pekin Bantams, Fenella is brooding again and has even managed to pull an ex battery hen egg under her which is in no way fertile. She is also sitting on a duck egg which we do not know if it's fertile.
As we usually take any cockerel chicks immediately to the Norfolk HQ when they leave their Mum around 8 weeks old so they stand more of a chance of getting rehomed, Jo is getting quite a backlog of them so any of these that won't be staying will be rehomed from us so anyone interested, please get in touch.
We have not set the minimum donation for a Pekin yet as obv they are more valuable and so help our rescue more as they raise more funds. Pekin Bantam Cockerels will probably be £3 and hens £10. They are always wormed, healthy, used to people and eating well.
Should the duck egg be fertile and hatch, we will be keeping it.
We have currently had 258 eggs from the batty girls this month and as Amy is going out to join Lexi and Tiny in the Des Res tomorrow, I won't have any hens in my hospital pens :-(
