Both of these girls were rehomed to different homes and came back to us for a rest and physiotherapy when it became apparent that having stood or sat in a battery cage for a year, that their legs weren't working properly. We check for bruising and put Arnica on any bruises we find and allow them to recover then carry out physio several times a day until the hens are well enough to either return home, or join our flock. They have since almost recovered apart from slight limps but will stay here forever.

We call Lexi "Periscope" as she has such a long bald neck and always seems to have it stretched to the limit having a good nosey about.

Sponsorship is £20 for the year for BOTH Lexi and Annalise which works out at just £1.67 per month and pays for food, bedding, fish oil supplements and medication etc....

Doris came here as an "extra" hen along with Pam who we call her twin due to their similarities (but Pam wears two green leg rings).

Doris is nicknamed Doris the Dinosaur as she just looks so prehistoric (as does Pam but Pam is more shy when it comes to photographs and is never anywhere to be found when the camera is out)In fact Pam peeped at me today and I was surprised to see Pam has many more feathers now than Doris which means she isn't so instantly recognisable.

One time we brought back hens from Norfolk HQ for the people of Lincolnshire and by accidental miscount by too many helpers, we had too few hens so we have always asked for a few extra since just so no one travels to us and ends up disappointed.

If we have hens left over after rehoming to everyone, we usually get in touch with a handful of local people who we keep on our reserve list of rehomers, BUT then we realised how bald Doris and Pam were, so we kept them back until they feathered up as the nights were still cold so they needed fleeces on at night.....but they still haven't grown proper plumage so they will stay forever now as we have got attached to their funny characters.

They both look so funny with their prehistoric way of walking.

Doris is more outgoing and Pam likes the security of the playhouse which is usually where I find her.

I know I can lure Pam out with the rattle of the sweetcorn tub or by banging my wooden spatula on the stainless mixing bowl which usually means hen porridge, scrambled egg, sweetcorn, pasta or some other delight mixed with garlic, poultry spice or fish oils for their health. Pam is named after a very nice lady who helps at Little Hen Rescue.

Sponsorship costs £20 per year for both Doris and Pam which works out at just £1.67 per month.
