Bless you! Even though some of the ladies didn’t live much longer, they were able to experience freedom and love and made a peaceful transition.
Seeing them look just like normal chickens made me tear up. Thank you for posting these videos, and giving these gals a wonderful second life. 😭
I too still get emotional when I watch my own vids. I see them in their new coats every day now. I almost forget the bad shape they were in sometimes...
Thanx for watching :)
Sorry to hear about 'Pretty' and the others you lost...you gave them a great life though....thank you for you kindness, love, and mercy...stay awesome!
Thank's for your kind words James!! It really stimulates, especially when things get rough now and then ;-)
They are ‘ladies’. Beautiful.
This made my day. This family has hearts of gold. I wish I had a life like this. Hens, farm animals....
Thank you Rushi! You have heart of gold for saying these kind words. Keep daydreaming what you want and you will attract it.
I am a chicken lover!! So glade seeing these hans have a wonderful life!! Thank you!!
Who knew l would enjoy watching chickens so much! Great production!
Thanx! Very sweet. (It actually takes 2 weeks to make a vid)
You really have cheered me up .it’s lovely to see these little birds live the life they should have .❤️🏴
Great to hear. Thx for sharing!
The whole time I've been watching this video, there has been a smile ... in my heart! The deep joy inside me seeing these dear little hens enjoying their lives as they should and not being used for what they can produce. They are very smart and know many things and are capable of having feelings; in this case, feeling love and being loved. I wish I'd be one of the people I see here rescuing them. It's I believe around twenty years I don't eat chicken or beef. Thank you guys so much for doing this work of love!!!!!! ❤🐓🐔🐣❤
We inherited a couple of hens by agreement with the previous owners of our house in Suffolk. I find them fascinating and lovable creatures, full of life and character. I love watching them scratch about and listening to the sounds they make.
I agree totally Simon. I can't imagine life without them.
1:25 lol 58 year old here (seriously) with tears of laughter watching these beautiful Chuks just 'being themselves'.....wtg ivanilia 😍
I'm 55 and also still having tears! ;-)
Best 3 Videos I have watched for a long time, love to all of you for caring and taking care of these beautiful 'girls'.. I'm in town at the moment and miss having chooks. Run free!!!!
Thanks for your BIG compliment ;-) Love 2u too!
They’re beautiful and content
Been rescuing ex batts for 15 years and like yours they appreciate there new homes and give so much back.
i almost cry :( why humans doing torture animals you are good person please keep up the good work i love your channel you hero for this animals
Thank's for sharing your thoughts! I use to eat chicken without any thought about their wellbeing. Then I "woke up" and started to eat organic chicken. Since the rescued hens I haven't eaten meat anymore.
So heartening to see a kind, loving chicken guardian.
Thank You Laura! 😘 I do it with all my heart indeed.
It was glorious to see these hens! So healthy looking. So happy. So different than the poor caged hens. TYSM
I just love you all for what you are doing for these animals. A life worth living is all they ever ask.
This was a joy to watch. Thank you for saving them
You're welcome Kent! Very glad you enjoyed 😍
Look how pretty they all are now! thank you for doing this!
You are a true legend, it warms my heart what you have done for these poorly treated birds, OMG i am so happy for your flock, love the shots of fighting over worms, made me smile. Kudos to you from England.
Thank's Paul. Nice to hear from you. I'm glad I coincidently filmed this worm scene :D (I love england, your respect for nature, polite people, been there on holidays quite a few times)
Good bless you and your family for caring and loving all these beautiful animals 😚💝
Thank You Wanda!! Really sweet.
So beautiful. I wish more people were like you and have more respect for the animals we eat. It doesnt hurt to give them a happy life!
Good work.
You are building empathy and compassion. And you have done something beautiful for these hens.
Thank you so much Y M 💖🙏
Such a nice place for them. Hen-heaven 😃
What a little bit of care, love and a natural environment can do.
And than the liviing sickness some people eat.
Amazing film.
Thank you!
Thank's for commenting. It's very heartwarming to know that so many people actually care for animals :) Thank you pipke!
It‘s wonderful seeing these hens having a second life. Dank u wel! 🥰
Nice dutch :) Thanx!
Cried for a week when my last chicken died , they make wonderful pets ,miss keeping chicken . This is a lovely channel , thank you for giving them a second chance .
ThankYou Yvonne! It's the relative short lifespan which made me postpone having (rescued) chicken for years...
I personally believe the true essence of every living being never dies. This knowing gives me comfort.
Even after I lost about 16 lovely hens with a lot of tears the past 2 years, I can't imagine a life without them.
Part 4 is in the making.
@@ivanilia thank you , looking forward to part 4 .
What a lovely thing to do, following there personalities as they start to relax must be hugely rewarding and natural for them. Peace at last.
My dad thinks every hen is the same. My daughter knew every hen from 10 meters :)
I now know that they are just like humans in the sense that their characters are all different. It's truly rewarding to see them getting better every day 🐓💓
I love the way humans and animals can live together happily and with love both ways 💓
Lovely chickens. Thank you for giving them a good life
Made me smile. Just 2 months with my 5 rescue girls. So many similarities with your experiences. I look forward to any time I can have with them. Best decision I have made in a long time.
Thanks for your reply Fraser. Made me smile too :) Great you took 5 to care for! It looks like my remaining 7 (out of 20)are relatively strong hens, so i'm enjoying them very intense now.
Oh. This is so touching very sad you lost your other hens.. I hope you’ll continue to adopt hens or rescue them I loved seeing this video, I love how happy they all are, I love my hens so much I understand they are not rescue and hope they will live the happiest lives in their secret garden. Thankyou for the update 💙
I worked for 3 weeks (in the free hours inbetween my work) on this update, so i'm glad you appreciate it :) Thanks for yor reply. Good to hear your love for your hens.
@@ivanilia yes, I wish I free ranged them I get so nervous something could get to them.. Hopefully this coming summer will be different, and I’ll trust myself even more I love how happy they are running around your yard 😁
@@wadestef1 Get a dog to protect them. Then you won't worry so much about them.
@@patriciacz8622 Oh we have to really good girls! Well.. One? Back in 19 I lost a chick to one but she wouldn’t do it again if I was around, the other has always known I trust her and she chases anything that poses as a threat on our property so I suppose we’re good?? I just need to gain confidence, I’ve been trusting them more and more.
Your videos melt my heart. Thanks for doing this for the hens.
I'm glad you liked it! 😃
Wow!! You so much love the animals! Such a pleasure to witness human beings when giving the best of themselves. Many thanks!
Thank's Buckshot! I was at a stage in my life where I wanted to take responsibility.
Very heartwarming to see your effort to give those girls the life they deserve.
This made my day.
It's so heartwarming to see you doing incredible things.❤️🇲🇲
Thanks for watching and great comment ❤️
I wanna show my respect to you and your humane actions. I hate what the world has come to just for people to benefit their ownself. those animals deserve a good life just as good as us. and looks like you have provided them with just that! thank you for all you do and god bless
Respect for all life is a real possibility and will be a fact in the future. Despite the chaos nowadays I think we're heading in the right direction. If everybody starts by doing little positive things, it will become a snowball :) God bless you too!
Wonderful! Well done, guys!
Thanx my friend!
So wonderful to see them happily out and about, you have provided such a fabulous life for them. I’m sorry you lost some but even they got to experience love and care from you which will have been special for them. ❤️
TY Spohie ❤️❤️
Thank you for these videos they made me smile and cry at the same time and its just great to see these birds get the second life they deserve. It goes to show that given the chance nature will prevail. I hope to see more videos in the future. I am currently going through my first winter with hens in the back yard and i can't recommend it enough, its great for them and great for us too. Please keep up the good work :))
Thank's Jim. You said it exactly right. The love flows two ways.
Allthough i'm time constricted due to my daytime job as an illustrator, part 4 is in the making :)
Lovely video! I’m sure your hens were very appreciative of your love and care!
It's amazing what you do for the poor hens!
Your video is so beautiful and great! You saved lives. Thanks for your mercy. I would watch more videos about this lovely hens.
Outstanding. Enjoyed every second. Admiration from the USA.
Thanks RGH! I enjoyed making the vid :)
Thanks to you guys sharing those videos with us much love from 🇺🇸
Thanx for watching Sam and Samir ❤️
What a beautiful life. What beautiful lives. :)
I was sobbing too much happy bittersweet tears to read sometimes. Had to pause a lot so I could see again!
It makes me so happy to see them experience joy and freedom, while it's sad that most won't or couldn't enjoy a full lifespan- their final experiences in life were the best any bird could wish for! Bless you for all the hard work you do and to be willing to put effort into making a video to share their stories!
Yeah, it's pretty contronting to know the truth how animals are used as products. However, their situation is very slooowly changing towards a better life. Because a bigger number of people don't take it anymore. As long as we don't buy cheap eggs and meat, we can accelarate this positive trend. I stopped eating meat since I held these hens in my own hands. Peace!
hi guys just watched all 3 of the videos,amazing thank you for sharing....Hello from Nottinghamshire England x
So awesome....you’re a credit to humanity....beautiful animals. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank's Simon. Really nice to hear :)
@@ivanilia warms my heart when I saw your dedication and love shown to the hens..you gave them a chance to finally have s wonderful life..You’re family are phenomenal ❤️
I know how you feel about your hens. Last spring a hen showed up with five chicks. I started feeding them. Lost one to a hawk and now have four more that have shown up this winter. I go out the back door and.my nine guests are waiting for me. They follow me as i feed our rescue donkey and llama. Then they get fed. They are not the least bit concerned about me or my wife. But if a stranger comes by, into hiding they go.
When the little hen showed up with the babies. Our Lab got too close and the hen put her on the run pecking at her rear. She developed a respect for the chickens rather quickly. Now she is friendly with all the flock.
Thank's for sharing Jack. How wonderous, that they all just showed up at your place, ready to be sheltered by you. Beautiful! 💖
@@ivanilia we had 4” of snow last night. This morning all 9 were either standing on or right by the food bin. They rely on me and that touches my heart. After all, they are gods creatures. B
Just adding up my respects. If only mankind were 99% good instead of generally the most evil species ever existed.
Thanx BEEyonced. Most people are good and it's continuing to rise. It's a small number of negatives that reach the news too much IMHO.
What a lovely chickens' paradise you gave them. How could anyone condemn them to life in a battery
and deprive them of the joy of life
Thanks :) So many people, so many levels of awareness. Money is also an issue here i'm afraid.
Thank you for the update. You guys are incredible. I wish I could create the same thing. Unfortunately having a condo preventing me from doing so. Feeding homeless animals is not enough for me, I wish I could do more. Thanks to you guys I stopped buying cheep eggs, now I make sure that eggs are from the free range chicken farm. Thank you for opening my eyes. Maybe I can smuggle at least two abused chickens into my condo :). Its hurt to see some of your babies go, but you guys give them best of all, they been rewarded for such a horrible life they lived and enjoyed what ever was left.
On behalf of the hens THANK YOU Margaret for choosing better eggs. I'm glad I was able to make their lives worthwhile by showing the suffering. I think you do enough by saving homeless animals and treat them with love and respect 💓
I'm sharing your video with everybody I can, from Florida to California. The other day I was visiting my girlfriend and asked one of her children ( she just turned 16) do you know where this cheap egg you just consumed came from ?. After we watch video of battery chickens.... . I lost my girlfriend but I think her daughter turned vegetarian. :) if not ,she will go for the better eggs. Knowledge, knowledge....
Beautiful work. Congratulations. Greetings from the south of Chile.
They are beautiful!!!
what a stunning family you made my day
Good for the soul this is why humanity will never die
Most people don’t have souls anymore buts it’s nice to see even a small act of kindness like this.
All the best. You and your family have a lovely heart to adopt these hens
Very sweet 🐓💓
Amazing, thanks for sharing.❤️
OMG, I love this video! What a long ways they came! They look so great and are so happy... pulling a worm and chasing each other! Lol... love it!
Thanx for your nice comment :) ... the worms scene is quite funny indeed. I was glad I coincidently filmed it :)
@@ivanilia Very sad that some didn't make it! Thank you for what you do, animals are so innocent and deserve better! If I had a house and property I would have several animals from shelters etc. Thank you for giving the hens a better life!
Thank you for loving them
love it, RIP Pretty but omg love this vlog, very happy chicks who were abused to produce eggs, love this
Night and day. They look beautiful; compared to video #1. Makes me very happy to see....
It's an amazing metamorphose indeed. Thanks Richard!
Thank you for doing such a great job taking care of them. they look healthy and happy now. I wonder if flaxseed tea in the chickens water could help with the kidney problems? It is wonderful for human kidneys, but maybe ask your veterinarian. Black seed oil (nigella sativa ) is good for human lungs. Maybe it could help. 🐥
Thanx for your tips Lora! I'll look into it 🙏🏼
The chickens look happier than ever.
Chickens: *really happy when they find a worm*
The worm: excuse me, I would not like to be torn in half
This is so wholesome! Thanks for what you did to those lives!
That's sweet ;)
A little bit of heaven on earth.
Excactly! Hopefully the heaven experience made them forget their misery in the industry.
Thank you for what you did for these animals. I hope to do the same one day if we can have a house with a large garden 👏
Thank you Lorna! When you get bigger garden and still want hens try and get hens that are a little less tortured than the ones I got. They'll probably live a bit longer and you'll enjoy it even more.
You did and do a great job with love ..Egg Farms are so cruel .Maybe one day they'll be outlawed :) Lovely video 👍🐔❤️
Thank you Helena! ❤️
Beautiful work!
In the fifties, our friends in Honthem had a small farm. Cows, pigs, chickens. Lots of chickens. The eggs were sold in Maastricht. Unlike the prisons in which chickens are now tortured, they ran free in the meadows, in the farmhouse, into the kitchen. They had small boxes for laying eggs in secured enclosures for the night because of the foxes and other predators. Eggs were all collected by hand and it was very labor intensive. A large building was used for hatching eggs and the chicks were sold off to other farms. The farm is now closed, the buildings are still there and the large building for hatching eggs has fallen into disrepair. I now live in Tucson, almost downtown. One of my neighbors has chickens and two huge turkeys. Another one has a flock of ducks which like to go visiting and the small Volkswagen garage uses Geese as watchdogs. The nickname for the neighborhood is hippieville.
Coincidentally, we have a meadow for the sheep in Honthem and we live in Maastricht :-)
We live in what use to be a barn full of pigs and cows and my dad turned it into a home in the seventies.
The farm from the fifties you describe, is typical for that time. And sounds like heaven on earth for the animals. Animals were kept with more respect. (Allthough rabits allready were kept in small cages, if i remember correctly) If you still have the address in honthem, I would love to take a peek ;-)
"They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky, and they remember what they are."

It is nice and warm up there on the sheep and she can see everything 😄💖
That makes a lot of sense indeed! 1 thing is for sure... she feels very safe and comfortable 💖
RIP Pretty i'm sure she is there up in the stars with all her other Chicken family.
I comfort myself with exactly that same thought!
Kippen zijn wonderlijke dieren en jouw 3 filmpjes hebben dat laten zien, ik heb met veel plezier alle 3 de filmpjes bekeken !!!
Dankje! Fijn te horen :)
Awww i came across yr video and it save my day i was smilling from ear to ear. Good job ya all. Wish i could do the same but no farm or space for Animals.
Glad to hear :) TY
Absolutely stunning. You have beautiful birds and a beautiful soul. I’ve rescued 100% of my animals, but it turns out it’s hard to rescue chickens in the US if there’s not a rescue in your state. The egg farms here don’t sell them to private individuals :( if anyone has any advice on rescuing chickens in the US I’d appreciate it. Hope to see more of your babies.
Ty Tyler :)
Thank you.
Leuk, Kippen zijn hele leuke vogels om te hebben. Soms wel een beetje rommelig maar dat hoor bij ze. Super gaaf om te zien hoe blij ze ook daadwerkelijk zijn mensen! Ook worden de hennetjes super goed verzorgd. Misschien ligt het wel aan mijn maar ik zie dat ze niet echt een "pecking order" hebben. Kan komen door hun leven als baterij kippen. Veel pleizier met de vogels en de andere dieren die jullie hebben rondlopen.
Thanks for sharing
You are wonderful. Thank you for making theese videos.
💖
been there and done that and what a truly rewarding thing it is , mine were from a free range egg producer so not quite as poorly as yours , makes one think about the appalling cruelty in modern farming ........... the part they don't show people on things like 'countryfile'. Well done to you , by the way you can loose a lot with gapeworm unless you feed flubenvet twice a year as it's very prevalant with all the pheasants around. cheers mike
OK. I'll check out the flubenvet. Good to hear from a collegue too :)
i’ve got three rescue chickies a few months back that were abused / neglected. two of them seem to be okay but my main girl, pearl, has a lot of issues with her breathing but she’s really attached to me and i do everything i can to help her which seems to work really well ^ ^ thank you so much for these videos, what humans to to animals for their own gain makes me sick to my stomach so it’s really nice to see there’s people out there that genuinely care so much for these small creatures ♥️
Sometimes they have breathing problems indeed. Molly had a pneumonia a few weeks back and luckily she survived thank's to a lot of anti-biotics. (last thing I could do) She was really breathing difficult and her tail went up and down almost constantly. We went to the veterinarian. Great to hear your hen seems to get better. Goodluck for Pearl 💛
You’re doing god’s work 👏
Thank's Raghu! Hope we can inspire more people to be respectful and loving to animals.
Beautiful story.
I love your video and what you have done with those beautiful chickens. Thank you
Very sweet!!
Nice to also see the sheep out of their pen and able to graze.
Its really impressive what you've done here, giving a New Life to these creature is a mind changer.
I will not stop to eat chicken cause i need it, but i will definitely look them in a more respectfull way.
Continue to Save Wildlife, us the human beeing are juste here for a short time until we kill ourself's.
We can still evolve to a society based on all the good things. I myself am an optimist and try not to judge others.
You guys are angels 💛🐓
They are all beautiful now
The remaining 7 are beautiful and going strong!
Good job 👍 ..wish you everything Best ..
Gotta have a rooster in there, to protect the flock and eventually have some chicks.
I absolutely would if it was possible. Unfortunately we're not allowed to breed with rescued hens because it takes a lot of energy from the hen. When hens leave the egg industy they allready consumed half of their life energy. Sometimes even more.
@@ivanilia yeah but they'll pass on their lives to their brood, giving animals a chance to procreate is one the best things that any living thing can have in its lifetime.
I love you guys!
Thank's Great to hear from an angel 😊 Love to you ❤️
MAde me cry so sad like the video
Great Work, congratulazioni
Loved this series of videos.
TY ❤️
Keep up the good work.
will do. Thanx :)
Really you are like angel Allah bless you 💖💖💖💖💖💖
my father give them very fine chopped fresh young top of nettles plants mixed with grounded crops or corn add little bit water to moisture and put together all these flavours .
Are the nettles for extra vitamins?
