We rescue ex-battery hens from a local sanctuary. When they arrive with their combs all drooping and lots of bald patches and sores, they're the cutest but most pathetic thing you're likely to see. After a few months of TLC though, they're running about, playing chicken with the dogs, and generally having a ball. I hope you don't mind me messing up your page with photos. If you do just shout and I'll delete.

Awww...that's so sweet. We had chickens on and off when my son was little, and he used to love playing with them. They definitely have cute little personalities. At one point we had a rooster who wouldn't eat until I petted him. He'd jump up on the roof of the coop, and do a little dance until he got his pets, while he watched the hens eat. Then once I patted him a bit he'd jump down and eat. Little character.
We get great laughs out of our chucks and their antics and they're some of the best conversationalists I know:)
I don't mind at all. That poor thing when you got him! Horrible. Thank you for doing what you do! Oh I miss my ladies something awful. They were so entertaining, and loyal. I don't have room for them in my new home, but I think I will try quails as a substitute. I would like to have a protein source (eggs) when SHTF.
haha I have a cat who does that! He has to have his morning loving, then he pretty much disappears for the rest of the day.
