I love Tattle but some of you lot ruin any integrity to your complaints by making them linkable to these threads. We know we aren't trolls but that doesn't mean the site doesn't have a bad rep with that. Be professional if you want to be taken seriously.Oh come on guys, using #justiceforflipandflop over on Instagram just makes it glaringly obvious you’re a tattler.
Get off of the sofa and lock them up every evening. Yes you can have doors with a timer, but there's always one who decides to sit on the roof of the hen house rather than go inside.In short: less time consuming than children, more time consuming than a dog.
She will need to:
Clean the coop and run thoroughly once a week (at least)
Clear nest boxes and roost of poo daily
Collect eggs daily
Top up water when needed
Top up feeder when needed
Clean water dispenser and feeder out once a week. Plus spot cleaning as and when.
Regularly check chickens for disease, worm them monthly.
If the coop is smaller, allow the chickens time to roam and forage.
Maintain coop and run so it remains water and pest proof.
She can’t bed her children herself never mind chasing hens around.Get off of the sofa and lock them up every evening. Yes you can have doors with a timer, but there's always one who decides to sit on the roof of the hen house rather than go inside.
Be prepared to break the ice on their water several times a day in winter.
@Pumkins 1506 I have a feeling that your very valid points will be used in a gridpost.
Penny, Pammy and Polly.I’m calling bingo on her having 3 hens only!
A friend of mine kept chickens and ducks. A fox got in and killed the lot but only took one. The aftermath was worse than anything I’ve ever seen. It was more like a werewolf had got in.Erm does she not have a fox in there? The destruction is heartbreaking if a fox gets in the pen & they kill for fun.
surely she will not be allowed rescue hens, the garden is ridiculous.
Also, did I dream she had an interior designer??? Is the girl using Hinch House as a fucking BTEC piece of work?? It’s like a mood board for a funeral home threw up in there
I don't even know what the full Flip and Flap story isPlus they don't know who that is
I only didn't include that (though it's a valid point that will apply to her for sure) because we don't lock ours in. If the coop and run are secure then you don't really need to, in fact they're happier as they can get up and out when they are awake and won't get bored being shut in.Get off of the sofa and lock them up every evening.

Wonder if she’s trying to get a freebie from somewhere like Omlet?You can’t use chickens for ADS!
Very well said. She has no clue.really angry this morning. I’ve emailed my contacts at BHWT telling them my concerns letting this irresponsible woman “rescue” chickens. They’ll wish they were back on the battery farm!
My girls turned up from BHWT featherless skin and bones and through knowledge, care and attention they were brought back to health. I’ve had a lot of chickens from battery farm cages through BHWT and I’ve had 3 pass away in a box in my lounge near the radiator where I knew this was their last night, at least 11 have been PTS at the vets through things like egg peritonitis. One took her last breath in the car on the way to the vets as her crop distended and restricted her breathing. I’ve had 2 be given the contraceptive implant (just like the one women have in their arm) at £80 a pop only lasting 3 months to save their lives and prevent EP and sepsis.
This woman doesn’t have a clue how to look after rescue hens, stop them being killed by the foxes, spot when there’s a problem. Her poor boys don’t need to experience death so much either. These hens have had a tough life, I’ve had some live 8 years from rescue and some 2 days! RSPCA need to be aware. I’m absolutely fuming that she’s taking on MORE animals! You can’t use chickens for ADS!
