We Were Lucky..Some aren't so lucky.. but they could be.

Good morning everyone.  This wonderful weather is making us all feel so much better.  I hope you humans are being careful and wearing hats and putting on lots of sun-cream so you don't get sunburned.  We are sensible hens and love to stay in the shade under the apple trees and our Mum puts out fresh water for us twice a day.  Rhiannon has been much better and not playing hide and seek so much and Brigid and Olwen are just being their usual selves and rootling about amongst the earth and grass to find interesting things. 

Brigid does a spot of sunbathing.

 Brigid did a spot of sunbathing this week but not too much.  I made sure of that.  don't worry about the pink bits on her skin, it's not sunburn, it's from where we were all shut away.  I think she needs a pair of sun glasses to make her look really cool.  But it just goes to show that she is really happy here in her Forever Home.  We are so lucky. When our Mum came to collect us, Michelle, the lady at the BHWT in Cornwall, said we would be spoiled... and she was right!   You know there might be some hens near you that would like a Forever Home.  Not all hens that are released have been in dreadful cages, some have been free range hens who have stopped laying for a while and will come back into lay in a few weeks but farmers can't wait for that to happen as they must have a regular supply of eggs.  

Some lovely people at FreshStart forHens are looking for Forever Homes for some of these at the moment.  On September 7th they will have some ex commercial Free Range  girlies who, if they can't find homes for them, will be killed.  That would be awful!  We are all so very friendly and so easy to keep. In return we give you  all our love and try and be as helpful as we can, just like Olwen and Brigid were this week when Rhiannon was playing hide and seek with our Mum. We love to follow you around and have a chat with you as well.Don't forget we lay wonderful eggs, nothing like the ones you get in a supermarket which might be anything up to 2 weeks old by the time you buy them.  Our eggs are rich and gooey with sticky dark yellow yolks and they taste magnificent.  Anyway,  they have rehoming centres all over the country and if you could find just a little space in your heart and garden for 2 or 3 of my friends I would love you for ever.. and so would they.  The best way to contact them is by going on to Facebook and looking at their page.

So, the sun is shining and all is well here in Bodmin Moor.  I do hope you have all got something planned for this weekend.  After reading Catherine Cavendish's blog on the Beast of Bodmin Moor I though I might do a spot of Beast watching myself.. although with 4 cats here it's more likely that I will see one of them instead.  Although they have been seen very close to here.  Have a lovely weekend folks.
