this video made me cry... thanks so so much for giving these beautiful creatures the life that they deserve... we need more people like you in this world
Thank you for sharing :) We hope video's like these won't be needed in the future and animal cruelty is past tense. I'm optimistic we will reach that goal.
Never really worried about what happens to chickens and their condition I just wanted my eggs on a shelf at the supermarket. Now I have 6 girls of my own now and they eliminate any mental health issues I would ever get. They are my girls my chickens and my companion.
Thanks for sharing scott! Great you gain positive energy from your girls :) It's all about raising our awareness and showing the invisible suffering from animals in the industry.
This is one of the most inspiring videos I've seen, the human being is such a strange creature, capable of so much love and so much disdain for life at the same time...
A chiken's legs show how healthy they are, the more yellowish thier legs are the healthier they are. Thier legs were white as snow. I'm happy you tooked them. Now they starts to look beautiful.
You all are so awesome for taking these beautiful girls and giving them their happy lives! How do you keep from beating the crap out of the horrible people that do this to these amazing little girls? I have had chickens my whole life. We have house chickens as well. They are such wonderful companions its absolutely horrible how they are treated. Thanks again for all you do for them.
Awareness is growing. Also among these chicken farmers. Perhaps not as fast as we would like. In a way I also contributed to animal suffering when I was younger and unaware, buying cheap meat and eggs. If we stop buying cheap eggs and cheap meat we will speed up the transition to more animal friendly eggs or even plantbased alternatives. The latter is being developed as we speak.
its very emotional to see there new life , a life you have gave them, you have made them so happy, you have a very big heart and very kind , they are beautiful I love them and you for doing this for them, thank you so much
One of the best battery hen stories I’ve watched, bless you for caring for them and obviously loving them very much. It has just the right amount of poignancy mixed with upbeat joy ☺️.
I love to see hens get a chance to had a good chicken life, with food, shelter and love. We have 26 hens and too roosters, each has their own coop and free pasture raised, they are out of coops from am to pm when they choose to go in. We have named them all and enjoy the eggs. Our oldest are 5 years to 9 months, we keep them for as long as long as they live. They knock on our door hoping to get inside for treats. We love our flock.
You are an angel, Thank you for saving these beautiful birds. Everybody deserves to be loved. You should apply to The Dodo to see if they will release a video on your behalf. As it would increase the amount of subscribers that you have & it would also make it possible for more people to witness how badly these hens get treated before you rescue them xx
Thank you. For me, you're an angel too 💓. I checked the youtube channel The Dodo. It would surely fit with their content and raise the awareness about the hens. I'll see if I can contact them. Maybe you can do too?
This video brought me such happiness and made my decision 100% to get rescue hens ❤You’ve brought them so much love and happiness you can really see it, we’ll done ❤❤
I'm glad you're positively touched! If the chickens had a hard time in the factory be prepared that they have very weak immune system. They are prone to disease. Especially in the first year. Most of my group died within 2 years. Give them some extra vitamins! The purpose is that they have experienced the free life and real love from people. If you want to have less grief when a chicken dies, you can choose to not naming them. Especially if you have more than 10 chickens. We tend to personalize the animals more if they have a name. Anyway... it worked for us with the third group.
I have 4 chickens. They are so sweet and so curious, I let them explore around the yard freely and so far it’s gone well. They know they’re boundaries and stay within my property limit. I wish them a healthy and prosperous life!!
Look at those happy healthy girls! I love that you gave them windows in the boxes when you brought them home. It shows how much love you had for them when you called the one hen Pretty; you loved and believed in her. What a nice story. :)
@@ivanilia Your hens love you. The one bird transfixed while you pet her tummy laying on her back so vulnerable and trusting. How sweet. I hope they will continue to give you much love and joy for years to come. Makes me want to only buy free range eggs and hens from now on.
Thank you for taking in these lovely girls and giving them a life worth living. The tragedies and atrocities these sweet creatures are subjected to is so very disturbing to me. I am grateful to you for bringing a small window into their plight. The love they share with one another and with us is a beautiful thing. They give so much happiness. I adore mine. Bless you and your beautiful birds & family. I'm definitely a new subscriber!
It's really wonderful to see animals loved and cared for - which they so should be, always. And hens are very cute and beautiful little animals. Love, love, love 💖💜💚💕
En jij bedankt voor het opzetten van de stichting. Door jou en alle andere vrijwilligers, die elke keer weer naar de verste plekken rijden om de dames te halen, is dit mogenlijk :)
Thank you for caring for these beautiful chickens. Their story reminds me why I always pay a lot of money to get eggs from chickens that are hand-raised on a farm, mostly outdoors.
Great to hear S & P. About 15 years back I started to eat less meat and at the same time I choose organic more expensive meat. So I didn't spend more money in the end :D Now I sometimes eat Beyond meat which remembers me a bit how meat use to taste.
Dankje Lonie 😃 Klopt, we zijn erg bevoorrecht met ons plekje aan de rand van maastricht en blij dit te kunnen delen met onze dieren. Binnenkort hoop ik deel 4 te kunnen posten. Groetjes!
Such a nice video, and glad you have some land to put them on. But I wouldn't recommend feeding your hens beaten egg (was it that?), they will get to like the taste of their own eggs so watch out. Our rescue hens once numbered 9 but now we are down to one after nearly 4 years, but we have Lottie (Ixworth) Diesel (Copper Maran - rescued from over amorous cockeral who chipped her beak one time) Genie (Blue Maran) and a 100ft garden to roam around in. But they are champion garden destroyers so they don't get out much in spring until the plants have established themselves. We will get more rescue hens once lock-down is over, they are such good company!
Thanx Max. Good to hear from a collegue :) They are affectionate indeed 🐓💓 I've had one or 2 who tried to peck the eggs and sometimes they would eat one. But to be honest, I don't mind that much, because the eggs are in a bad condition. They tend to get watery after 2 years of egg-laying.
hoihoi Ivan en Ilia! hartstikke mooi om te zien dat jullie deze kippen helpen en een beter leven geven. Ik hoop dat het goed gaat met jullie en de kippen. Groetjes Pim :) (montessori)
Wat leuk dat je gekeken hebt! Kippen vergt veel aandacht en tijd, maar je krijgt er veel liefde voor terug. Ik hoorde dat jullie ook kippen hebben. 1 tip... Bescherm ze goed tegen bloedluis, de vos en de buizerd! Groetjes aan iedereen thuis, ivan
Aren't chickens amazing pets? , I love when I kiss them on their "cheek" they close their eyes and fully trust you. When they do their little cute diggings or run after each other and hunt you when they hear bags opening.
So wonderful to see I thought wouldn't it be great if the people in the factory farming disgusting warehouses could see how beautiful Creatures these are that they just disregard as trash Maybe it would change a lot of hearts To have compassion And stop the way they're treated
You're welcome :) We actually underestimated the care that these chickens need. But once you have them, and experience their unconditional love you treat them as if it were your own kids :)
Indeed I would like a farm just to take care of animals and nothing else. I’m vegan 100% the healthiest way to live for ourselves, for all animals and for the planet.
Man continues to undo what God creates. Those poor chickens had almost lost all their natural instincts . Thanks for rescuing them. You'll have a special place in heaven for looking after he's creations
Some of these chickens have a damaged apparatus for creating shells, according to the vet. It's also true that some had an calcium deficiency. Since 10 months ago I give them extra crushed oyster shell's and the problem with 1 or 2 specific chicken laying Eggs with no shells has been fixed. Thank's for your input Starshine and Holly!

Thank you for saving God's creatures. You are a wonderful and caring person. I have 9 hens. I hate these cruel uncaring factory farms. They all need to be shut down for good. The hens need to roam and forage.❤
Thank's Lilli! As people get more conscious, animals will be treated better. Let's see in the future. Until then we will have to show what reality is for animals in the farms. All the best with your hens.
thank you so so much for what you have done. I must say any country that allows its animals to be treated like that and get in that condition can not call its self civilized. their condition was terrbile and their lives must have been hell. There is no excuse to not protect them with laws and sanctions
How anyone can keep chickens in small cages when they are looking in this state and are very un happy and dying is beyond me Thank God you saved them keep it up
Hi jackie. Thanks for the tip. I thought about that option as well. I bought a big net with big holes. Now no more buzzard, eagles, condors can get to my flock ;-) You can see in my latest update. ua-cam.com/video/tZMucddUpVk/v-deo.html
Every Single One of God's Creatures deserves a chance to be Happy!
