Please Adopt Some Rescued Battery Cage Hens

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

The rescued battery cage hens that I received and have been caring

for are now ready to go to homes! I've quarantined them, treated

them for coccidia (an intestinal organism), and consulted with our

state poultry vets and had many tests conducted to ensure they

weren't carrying disease.

 

They are becoming very friendly and they all crowd around me wanting

to be picked up. They have such great personalities, and all of them

are different. They make just as wonderful animal companions as a

dog or cat, and can be much less work, too. I can help you figure

out how to care for them and provide housing. You can buy a chicken

coop or build one yourself.

 

Many cities allow a few hens. If you or your family eat eggs,

keeping some rescued hens is really the only way not to feel too

guilty about it... Free range is often not what you think, and they

kill them while they are very young.

 

It's costing me about $150 a week for food and bedding for these

sweet ladies, and about 15 to 20 hours a week of my time, so I

really need to get them in homes soon. Please let me know if you can

help. (Having only three or so hens is much less expense and work,

of course.)

 

I will deliver them to you. That's partly because I've become very

fond of them and want to make sure they have safe living conditions.

But I've seen plenty of rustic country properties, and my only

concern is that they are safe and loved, and not that you live like

Martha Stewart!

 

Thanks!

Cheryl
