We had been hoping to rescue six battery chickens last weekend. 

First the bad news. They have not yet arrived, we had to cancel their pickup due to the seriously bad weather our part of the world has been experiencing these last two weeks. Not to put too fine a point on things it was literally a case of taking your life in your hands to get out of our place due to the snow and ice. Even today as the thaw sets in one still needs a 4x4 and decent driving to make it out in one piece.

Now the Good news. The next batch of rescues is due to happen around March April time and we will be giving a bunch of those ladies a new home instead. The six ladies due to come here will have been found alternative homes with folks not living in such out of the way places -- it is nice here but it can be a little isolated at times of bad weather.
