2 new residents

2 new residents moved in during the week, fillet AND nugget- so named as they are not ex batts and are very "meaty"- don't worry we are veggies! Lexi has also gone to join them now the snow has cleared and hopefully will enjoy life as a chicken ;-) rather than a human.
We do have a rescue coming up in the near future but due to the death (murder) of a close friend, it has not been at the forefront of our minds....we can deal with the chooks, it's dealing with people that we are having problems with due to being so depressed. We will be back in gear asap so the chooks don't end up dying too!

Chooky Porridge / hen jumpers

Please ensure your hens get some chooky porridge each day whilst it is still light enough for them to eat it. They really appreciate the warmth of the oats and all manner of good healthy things can be put into the mix to give them a healthy boost throughout the winter months. Even a little warm spaghetti/pasta mixed in is appreciated.
They hate the snow so probably won't venture far out of their houses. Ensure their water isn't frozen- Apple cider vinegar in the water apparently makes it less likely to freeze (or it will need a lower temperature) -Not guaranteed though as ours seems to still freeze!

Put plenty of bedding on the floors of their houses to insulate it better and use your common sense. Hens rehomed a while ago should NOT need jumpers and the use of them may cause a hen to overheat and then go into a moult which is not what you want at this time of year. Hen jumpers/ tunics can also get wet and cause a hen to have hypothermia. They should ONLY be used on newly rescued bald hens who are used to humid temperatures and being in close confines in the battery cages or barns. DO NOT use them as a fashion accessory.

Happy New Year


Better late than never.....we wish all our friends, rehomers and supporters a fantastic new year and decade ahead.
Lets save hundreds more hens from their cages and impending slaughter and give them the retirement they deserve.
Thankyou to everyone who has helped us since we formed Lincs Little Hens and split our website from Rosah even though they are both still under the umbrella of the Rays of Sunshine Animal Haven
