Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Introducing...
Anode and Cathode http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=849534&l=147b6&id=619485718 They have not yet met the cats. But Cathode was very vocal in her comments about the sound of next door's tractor :-) > Anode and Cathode > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > But Cathode was very vocal in her comments about the sound of next door's > tractor :-) I love this picture. I would like to try to capture something like this on canvas some day. (I do some oil painting.)

I like the names, myself. And the hens are beautiful! A bit ragged around the edges, but they'll look better once they've enjoyed their freedom for a while. They're a pretty color.

They look alert (and the world needs more lerts) and they seem aware that their futures will be more interesting than their pasts. They also have shockingly good names.

Is that the >current fashion in naming former battery hens? The names just fit them :-) They've already perked up a lot compared to when I fist got them. When I picked them up their combs were pale & grey. Already they are pinking up nicely. When I first put them in their run, they stood there... and stood there... and stood there... So I've pretty much left them alone to have a bit of peace & quiet. It's paid off as they are starting to exhibit *normal* behaviour already. They've produced some good stuff for the compost bin :-) pecked at food, scratched about in their run, drunk some water and started moving about a bit. So things are looking good already. >> They are already lovely.

Mark Edwards SignatureProof of Sanity Forged Upon Request > Anode and Cathode > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > But Cathode was very vocal in her comments about the sound of next door's > tractor :-) Their feathering is quite good for ex-batts, Helen. Sometimes they look almost oven-ready when you get them and have an odour all of their own. That does wear off. Welcome to the world of chicken keeping! Tweed >> Anode and Cathode >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Tweed Aye, they are a couple of the more feathered of the rescue lot today. I saw a few that were looking very, very bald poor things. Also on the plus side, only Cathode has been debeaked and only very slightly. Their combs have already pinked up remarkably well, considering how pale & grey they were on collection. Poor things were incredibly stressed when I first got them. Anode:- http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=850626&l=e71cb&id=619485718 Cathode:- http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=850627&l=65afa&id=619485718 I've just tucked them up for the night. I've put extra straw in their bedding area, for extra insulation - and a bit of bubble wrap across the wire front - to keep the worst of the chill out. It's *not* airtight, far from it so they won't suffocate, but it will keep a lot of wind out overnight. Just until they acclimatise. >>> Anode and Cathode >>> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > from it so they won't suffocate, but it will keep a lot of wind out > overnight. Just until they acclimatise. It's a wonderful thing to rescue ex-batts, but I *do* wish you'd taken my advice to get 3. They are not long-lived - not bred for it and when one dies earlier than the other it's difficult to get another to fit in with the one that's left. Is it too late to get another one?

They *adore* sweetcorn. They're also sorting out their pecking order. Picking at the grit too. So already demonstrating normal chicken behaviour, which is good. >>> Another one!
