I could offer to help with transportation / trying to find homes but can't take any more chickens. I also have a 5' x5'x3' PVC/chicken wire enclosure that I can donate. It is a bit worn and not predator proof and does not have a coop / house attached. So it needs a secure / weather proof coop to make it predator proof. I am in the Bay Area.

Some of us might go out of our way in search of a chicken needing help and others have an ability to be in the right place at the right time. One thing I have learned a lot about from actual rescue situations is how not to keep chickens.

For about 10 years two friends and I ran an ad in a local paper offering our bird rescue services to the community.

Whether you buy it pre-made or build the coop yourself, there are several simple things you can do to make it safer for your chickens.

The three of us love birds of all kinds and felt this would be an opportunity to help birds and learn more about the many species.

I was the only one of the three living out in the country with plenty of room for a chicken rescue.

After a quarantine period most of the hens would join my resident free-range flock supplying our home with most wonderful eggs of all different colors.

I was fortunate to be able to help chickens of many breeds and get to know my favorites. (For the record I have to say that Americaunas are my most favorite.

So many chickens can lay white and brown eggs, but to be able to lay blue and green and blue-green eggs is something special. For me they have been a hearty breed, NO problems and good size eggs.)

Well, I thought I’d heard of most breeds, but I’d never heard of “Dorkings” before, and got a call from a nearby town requesting a chicken rescue of a small flock.

I brought a young man with me that helped around the farm and is great at catching chickens. We thought we were prepared.

Another thing I learned is that often, when someone calls for a rescue, they are desperate and sometimes the birds are too. We were led to the barn, where, in a dark damp corner pen, lived this little flock of Dorkings.

One was dying and the rest were doing their best to hold on. They had wintered in this prison without benefit of sun or a roost, many missing toes from frostbite. They had belonged to a young girl that lost interest in her 4H project, so the mother called us.

This was a challenging position to be in, but quite an education. Another thing I learned about chicken rescue is that even when you want to verbally release your anger at the person responsible for allowing them to suffer, the best thing to do is bite your tongue, be thankful you can get them out of there, stay calm and get them home and truly rescued, doctored and into a healthy environment.

Generally people are aware when animals are being neglected. Any kind of reckoning with them may end the rescue before you can get the chickens to safety.

Sadly the weakest hen passed away as we drove home, but her last moments were spent in the warmth of my young friend’s arms. Chicken rescue can be heart warming as well as heart breaking.

The good news is that the rest of the little flock made it with some TLC. There was nothing we could do for missing toes, but chickens are tough and with good care most do very well.

Caution

Before rescuing a chicken and bringing it home, it’s important to consider the potential for bringing in disease and parasites, especially if you already have poultry. It would be a shame to try and save a few and make others unhealthy in the process.

Rescue Story

My wife and I were riding through the country in July, of 2009 interviewing people about the different ways they raise chickens.

We were also taking pictures of chickens and chicken coops.

On our last interview we met a guy that had loaded his truck with about 25 roosters. He told us he was taking them to the local farm auction.

While gathering up more of his chickens to take to the auction he asked if we would like to buy his two year old silky hen (she was about to be loaded up for the auction as well).

She was partially featherless and really tired looking. My wife decided then and there that we were going to rescue that hen. We bought Bluebell for $2. Best $2 we ever spent.

We brought 'Bluebell' home and separated her from the rest of our flock for a couple of weeks.

When we introduced her to her new family they would not have anything to do with her.

We knew it would take time for Bluebell to adjust to her new life and family but anything is better than going to auction.

I know this is only one chicken rescue, but it's our rescue and I am sure we will do it again. It makes you feel good to know you saved a life. And you are reminded of it everyday when you see her running around the yard fat, sassy and happy.

Update September 27, 2009

Bluebell had been doing okay for the last month, but seemed to have a hard time fitting-in with our flock. In the beginning she would come in the coop at night, but stay far away from the other chickens. About two weeks ago, she quit coming in the coop altogether and would sleep under the porch. The porch was low to the ground and I could not get to her to put her up at night. A couple of days ago she was no where to be found. I am hoping she will come back. I pray one of those chicken predators did not get her. We will see.

Blogger Elle Pugsley from southern England shares with us how to introduce chickens and dogs.

Chicken Rescues Near Me

Chickens rescued from industrial farms probably haven’t met many animals of a different species. If you have other animals, you will want to introduce them all slowly and safely.

Three Dogs, Three New Chickens

Rescue Your Chickens Lay

I have three large dogs who love to watch the chickens. If the birds are free-ranging, the dogs are watching from behind our back door. When the chickens are in their enclosure, and the dogs have the run of the garden, they are still fascinated with gazing at the girls from outside the coop. The dogs were quite interested in the chickens after I rescued the three new girls. But once they had seen and sniffed the new birds and accepted them as new family members, the dogs returned to their normal mild interest.

Before getting any chickens, I wanted to gage how my dogs would react. Fortunately, the neighbour from whom I bought my original four bantams invited me to bring the dogs to her garden and get them used to birds before I took any home with me.

Free Range Chickens and Your Dogs

If you want to free range chickens safely with your dogs, it will take training. The bantams were here before my third dog came along, so he took to them wonderfully as a puppy but I still wouldn’t leave him alone with them unsupervised. Even if you don’t plan for your birds and dogs to share space simultaneously, it’s best to train the dogs to leave the chickens alone in case accidents happen: such as you to latch the back door properly. Once this happened and all three dogs barrelled out, saw the chickens, realised they weren’t meant to be out with them and turned around coming straight back inside.

When it came to getting the dogs used to the birds I used a large cage on the lawn to introduce the dogs to the idea of sharing the space with the hens inside the cage. All three of my dogs know the command ‘leave’ and respond to it for food, objects like toys, and our pet rats when the rats have a run around on the sofa. I told them to leave the caged birds alone and carried on for several days like this until they had little to no interest. I followed this with walking the dogs on lead in the garden with the hens free ranging, first each dog separately, then in pairs, then all three together, telling them to leave the chickens if they pestered them. They are allowed to give them a sniff but nothing more.Over time I repeated this without leads on. Keep in mind, none of my dogs are livestock breeds meant to be chicken protectors and are never left alone with the chickens, I went through this training in order for the chickens to be safe if ever the dogs were let out with them as I don’t have a huge garden and they have to share the space.

Elle Pugsley started growing her own food last year, and it went so well that the next natural step was to acquire chickens. Starting off with four bantams she fell in love and quickly became a crazy chicken lady. Now she’s opened her coop to three ex-commercial free range hens to rehabilitate and provide them with a forever home. You can see pictures of her hens and gardens on Instagram.
